Former Symbolic partner Sam Lehman joins Pantera Capital as junior partner

According to ChainCatcher, former Symbolic Capital partner Sam Lehman has joined Pantera Capital as a junior partner. Lehman said Pantera introduced him to him because he was interested in his expertise in investing in the cross-field of encryption and artificial intelligence. Pantera Capital absorbed Lehman shortly after completing the first round of fundraising for the fifth phase of Pantera fund, with a target fundraising scale of US$1 billion. CosmoJiang, general partner and portfolio manager at Pantera, once suggested that a considerable portion of the new fund would be spent on investment in the crypto-artificial intelligence sector. Lehman will become Pantera's fourth junior partner. The company also has two managing partners, two general partners and two partners. Lehman said he was attracted to Pantera in part because of the opportunity to "accompany the company's entire journey, not just in the early stages." He also said the decision was also made because of the team he would work with.
