BlockTower Capital was founded by Ari Paul, who managed portfolio and risk work at the University of Chicago endowment, and Matthew Goetz, a former Goldman Sachs executive and engineer, giving the firm an unusual mix of endowment-style risk discipline and Wall Street trading background; that combination shows up in a firm that runs trading, venture investing, and credit underwriting together, including a $1.9B on-chain credit fund and a $220M structured credit fund tokenized on Centrifuge with a 97% reduction in securitization costs. The firm later acquired the market-neutral hedge fund Gamma Point Capital to help attract institutional capital, and its first dedicated venture fund, a $150M vehicle led by Thomas Klocanas, grew out of years of research, trading, and credit work rather than starting as a standalone crypto seed fund.
