Just saw that Charlie Noyes stepped down as a general partner at Paradigm. Pretty interesting move considering he's been there since he was 19 and basically helped build the whole thing from scratch over the past 8 years. The guy's been pretty instrumental in their portfolio work, so it's not like he's completely leaving - he'll still be around as a board observer for their prediction market stuff and supporting their companies.
What caught my attention is that he's not announcing what's next just yet. Sounds like there's something brewing but he's keeping it under wraps until next year. For someone who's been that embedded in one of the biggest crypto VC firms, this could mean anything - maybe launching his own fund, joining another firm, or working on something completely different in the space.
Curiosity is definitely piqued about what Charlie Noyes has planned next. These kinds of moves from established VCs usually signal something significant coming down the pipeline.
