    At Pantera I’m a swiss army knife: I have my hand in a number of activities. On any given day I might work with a company to negotiate a new deal, delegate operational tasks to our team, or solve problems for our portfolio companies. I’m passionate about how the blockchain will bring transparency, efficiency, and cost-savings for institutions and corporations. My favorite part of my role is learning about new technologies or products that are going to revolutionize how value is transferred among different parties. Some achievements I’m proud of include: * Closed 100 venture investments; sourcing most of them * Closed 100 Token pre-sale Investments; sourcing, fundraising, token economics, and marketing * Authoring monthly investor letters and speaking at industry events; I enjoy serving as a resource for other investors * Building relationships with incubators, startups, and institutions and discovering unexpected, but valuable opportunities for everyone involved
