Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Paradigm · Joined 2018
View Live Interactive Profile →Matt Huang built a track record spotting major technology waves early as a Partner at Sequoia Capital, backing companies including ByteDance and Instacart, before leaving in 2018 to co-found Paradigm with Fred Ehrsam, who had co-founded Coinbase. Huang has led Paradigm's expansion from a purely crypto-focused fund into a broader 'technical frontier' mandate spanning AI and robotics, co-founding Tempo, a blockchain payments network built with Stripe, and sitting on the boards of both Stripe and Kalshi, a regulated crypto futures exchange. He became the firm's day-to-day leader in 2023, and Paradigm has grown to more than $12.7 billion in assets under management under his leadership, with Fund III alone closing at $1.2 billion in 2026 to back frontier bets including drone delivery company Zipline and space company True Anomaly.
