Events Associate

Paradigm is a San Francisco-based investment firm focused on crypto and frontier technologies across the globe, with over $10 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 token assets.

Paradigm was co-founded in 2018 by Matt Huang (former Partner at Sequoia Capital) and Fred Ehrsam (co-founder of Coinbase). Since then we’ve been hard at work building a world-class team of brilliant mutants to investigate the world’s most beautiful technical problems. Our research-driven approach helps us build relationships with founders and entrepreneurs, but it also reflects our broader goal of growing the crypto ecosystem globally and accelerating crypto’s ability to advance the world we live in. 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.

We're looking for an Events Associate to support the operational foundation of our events program, ensuring seamless coordination and execution across a high-volume slate of gatherings throughout the year.

Paradigm's events program brings the crypto ecosystem together, creating spaces where founders, builders, and industry leaders connect and collaborate. Every event we produce strengthens relationships and reinforces our commitment to the community. The right person understands that thoughtfully designed experiences are essential to driving the industry forward.
