About this role
The Firm
Paradigm https://www.paradigm.xyz/ is a San Francisco-based investment firm focused on frontier technologies across the globe, with over $11 billion in assets under management. We make investments in companies and protocols at all stages, ranging from early-stage venture financing rounds to growth equity to liquid assets.
Paradigm was founded in 2018 and is co-led by managing partners Matt Huang https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmhuang/ and Alana Palmedo https://www.linkedin.com/in/askorniakoffpalmedo/. We’ve been hard at work investigating the world’s most beautiful technical problems since day one. Our research-driven approach helps us build relationships with founders and entrepreneurs, but it also reflects our broader goal of accelerating the progress of frontier technology.
