Josh Blanchfield brings an unusually macro-institutional background to early-stage venture investing, having spent over a decade at Bridgewater Associates co-managing the trading desk through the 2008 crisis and leading asset allocation for major central banks and sovereign wealth funds, plus three years building Bridgewater's China operations across Beijing and Shanghai. As Partner & Chief Investment Officer for Perpetual Alpha at Unless, he focuses on constructing long-horizon compounding returns rather than traditional deal-by-deal investing, combining his physics background from Harvard with cross-over experience launching public market vehicles and a documented history of teaching investment frameworks to staff at all levels.
