The Role
Pantera Capital is seeking an experienced COO to play a key role in the leadership, management, and strategic road‑mapping of the firm. The successful candidate will demonstrate the vision required to take a fresh look at our operations, information technology, compliance functions, and team architecture to design a best‑in‑class, scalable operating model.
The Opportunity
Pantera, the first cryptocurrency fund launched in the U.S., was founded in 2013 when bitcoin was at just $65 /BTC. The firm subsequently became the first to launch a blockchain‑focused venture fund and an early stage token fund. Pantera is led by Dan Morehead, former CFO and head of global macro at Tiger Management, and co‑CIO Joey Krug, co‑founder of Augur, the first major project built on Ethereum. Pantera currently manages roughly $6.4bn across four distinct strategies, providing retail and institutional investors with full‑spectrum exposure to the space. At the end of 2021, Pantera’s early‑stage token and liquid funds were up between 258% and 385% year‑to‑date. Its Venture Fund I (raised in 2013) yielded a gross TVPI of 21.6x, its Venture Fund II (raised in 2014) of roughly 7.2x, and Venture Fund III (raised in 2018) of 7.7x.
