This is by (source: 06-27-2023). Huang is the co-founder of Paradigm. Twitter thread Matt Huang @matthuang https://twitter.com/matthuang/status/1673786399252955137?s=46&embedable=true&thread=true Paradigm has never been more dedicated to crypto. When Fred and I started Paradigm five years ago, there was no master plan. What we had was a shared curiosity for the future, deep conviction in crypto, and a desire to advance the frontier of what’s possible. Our best decision early on was creating the role of “research partner.” It wasn’t a role that existed (as far as we knew)—we invented it to convince to join. @danrobinson We didn’t even know exactly what he’d work on—we just knew he belonged on the team. Dan, along with , helped set the foundation for Paradigm’s deeply technical, research-driven approach. Our team today is an extension of that brilliant and quirky foundation. @_charlienoyes Five years in, we’re still learning from the research-driven approach that we stumbled onto. Investing has made us better researchers, and research has made us better investors. We hire deeply curious people and push them to follow their instincts. What started as an experiment in 2019 has become core to who we are — “research-driven” — a change that is now reflected on our website. We’ve never been more excited about crypto and we continue to invest across all stages, publish original research, help portfolio companies develop mechanisms (like Uniswap v2, v3, v4), ship open source projects (Foundry, Reth), advocate for good policy, and more. We’re also a group of curious nerds and the developments in AI are too interesting to ignore. It seems trendy to frame crypto vs AI as a zero-sum competition. But we don’t buy it. Both are interesting and will have plenty of overlap. We’re excited to continue exploring.
