“We wanted to partner with this team that has been making investments and actually helping to architect a number of different crypto economies and crypto token-based projects,” Pakman said. “We will use the partnership to learn about really quality companies that are building important decentralized platforms.”

Venrock has reportedly $2.5 billion in assets under management. The Rockefellers are one of the richest families in the world with an estimated net worth of about $11 billion.
