The Firm

Paradigm 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 and Alana Palmedo . We’ve been hard at work investigating the world’s most beautiful technical problems since day one.

This person would join our high-performing admin team, which today serves as the air traffic control group that helps Paradigm succeed, in addition to being guardians of Paradigm’s team culture. The admin team reports up through Katie Biber , Paradigm’s COO.

Paradigm is a hybrid firm, with employees coming in to our office in the Transamerica Pyramid Monday-Wednesday.
