Emmanuel Vallod moved from co-leading a $2B systematic securitized business at BlackRock and founding an AI infrastructure company into venture investing, where he focuses on hard, technical problems in finance, AI, and blockchain rather than easier, trendier bets. He argues that investing in early frontier tech requires actually understanding the code, math, and research behind it, and he backs that up by staying hands-on with things like enterprise LLM systems, crypto market structure, and FPGA hardware work.
