Paradigm is a San Francisco-based crypto/web3 investment firm with approximately $8 billion in assets under management across multiple funds.

Paradigm makes investments in crypto-related companies and protocols agnostic to the stage of investment, instrument, or industry. We are a registered investment adviser, and we currently run a complex set of fund vehicles - our investments have included equity and token venture financing rounds, liquid token investments, public equity, and other esoteric instruments.
Crypto is unique among asset classes in terms of the pace of its development, and we believe that a deep understanding of blockchains and an ongoing commitment to technical excellence is critical to our success. We believe that crypto will ultimately redefine money, finance, and the internet itself, and this technological revolution will have a fundamental and long-lasting impact on the global economy. In the last four years, we've built a world-class team to identify investment opportunities, contribute to crypto research and support our portfolio of 80+ investments.
