Stripe snags crypto investment vet for board seat
Mobile payments processor Stripe has tapped the co-founder of cryptocurrency investment firm Paradigm for a board seat.
Stripe announced the appointment of Matt Huang, who holds the title of managing partner at Paradigm, in a blog post on Friday.
Stripe has been in the process of hiring and onboarding a new crypto engineering team that will focus on Web 3 applications, an executive for the company said on Twitter last month.
Before co-founding Paradigm, Huang was a partner at Sequoia Capital, specializing in early-stage venture investments. Prior to that, he was the founder and CEO of Hotspots, which was acquired by Twitter in 2012.
