Crypto Investment Firm Paradigm Backs Gen Z: Continues Betting on Young Talent, Chaotic but Highly Promising

Odaily News: Matt Huang, co-founder and CEO of crypto investment firm Paradigm with approximately $12 billion in assets under management, stated that Gen Z employees "sometimes create a lot of chaos, enough to drive you crazy," but the creativity and technological breakthroughs they bring are equally astonishing. This has reinforced his commitment to betting on young talent. He revealed that MIT dropout Charlie Noyes was only 19 years old when he joined the company but later played a key role in MEV research and Flashbots investment, helping to establish that infrastructure as a crucial component of the Ethereum ecosystem. Matt Huang described Paradigm's team as "running an X-Men academy." Despite the unpredictability of young employees, their technical capabilities and speed of innovation often "far surpass those of traditional practitioners." (Fortune)
