Archebyte

Ash sits down with Archetype’s newest team member, Dmitriy Berenzon, for a wide ranging conversation. The two discuss the crypto ecosystems of NYC and SF, hardware becoming cool again, weird stuff at the intersection of AI and blockchain, and being both thesis and founder driven.

Dmitriy is the newest Partner here at Archetype, and will be driving research, investments, portfolio support, and fund strategy. He was previously a Research Partner at 1k(x), where he focused on research, investments, and working with founders on fundraising, business development, and token model design.
