Former Symbolic partner Sam Lehman joins Pantera Capital as a junior partner

ChainCatcher reported that, according to market sources, former Symbolic Capital partner Sam Lehman has joined Pantera Capital as a junior partner.

Lehman stated that Pantera brought him on board because of his expertise in investing at the intersection of crypto and artificial intelligence. Pantera Capital recruited Lehman shortly after completing the first round of fundraising for Pantera Fund V, which has a target fundraising size of $1 billion. Cosmo Jiang, Pantera's general partner and portfolio manager, previously hinted that a significant portion of the new fund would be allocated to investments in the crypto-artificial intelligence sector. Lehman will become Pantera's fourth junior partner. The firm also has two managing partners, two general partners, and two partners. Lehman mentioned that one reason he was attracted to Pantera was the opportunity to "accompany the company throughout its entire development journey, not just in the early stages." He also said that his decision was influenced by the team he would be working with.
