Chief Investment Officer

Samir is a public/liquid-markets asset manager rather than a disclosed venture check writer. Hashdex publishes fund and index methodologies, not a personal startup check range; pitches should concern investable assets, indexes, products, research, or institutional partnerships rather than assume venture capital authority.

No personal check range is publicly disclosed. ParaFi's private-markets strategy backs early- and growth-stage companies and protocols, but firm AUM and individual transactions should not be converted into a presumed standard ticket or unilateral authority.

$500K–$1M, from a current public ether.fi Ventures fundraising statement. The live site positions Fund I at pre-seed through Series A and publishes ventures@ether.fi. Confirm allocation, instrument, ownership target and whether the fund will lead; the current site says $20M committed capital while the April 2025 launch post described $40M, so fund-size headlines should not be used to infer check capacity.
