Paradigm

Paradigm is a frontier technology investment firm that builds and invests across crypto, AI, robotics, and other new frontiers from the earliest stages — often when there is no more than an idea. Founded in 2018, the firm combines deep technical research with hands-on building alongside founders, and is as likely to collaborate on a research paper or ship open-source code as it is to advise on product or business strategy. Research is core to everything Paradigm does: the firm believes depth is a prerequisite for invention and that real progress happens at the frontier, not in the boardroom or the ivory tower. Paradigm invests in companies and protocols with as little as $1M and as much as $100M+, across all stages and geographies. The firm has been an early contributor to and first outside investor in projects that have shaped the crypto landscape — including Uniswap, Optimism, and Flashbots — and manages over $12.7 billion in AUM across three funds, the most recent being an $850M early-stage crypto-focused vehicle raised in June 2024.
