Light Forest is our space to work with our favorite people, demystify crypto for
some of the world’s oldest multigenerational family offices, and generate stellar
investment returns through hands-on participation in the development of new technology.
We invest in companies focused on Crypto or Machine Learning, and preferably both.
We see synergies between these and are excited for the future where ML agents can
freely participate in market economies with their blockchain wallets. There is
plenty of Crypto infrastructure to build on the way to that dream, and we are
honored to partner with the best companies in the space building that scaffolding,
in addition to building solutions from our own lab.
If you think we’re a good match as investors or would like someone to build with you,
feel free to reach out to Cinjon.
Dino started his career as an analyst doing value investing in global equities in 2011. Noticing that certain internet and tech business models were persistently undervalued, he focused his attention on them until taking an interest in crypto during the 2016 bear market. He made angel investments in projects such as Decentraland, Terra, Connext, Zenledger and helped manage a collective pool of capital from 2017-2018. He also made a couple of rare pepes. He helped launch Light Forest with Cinjon after working on Blueprint Forest’s long-only public equities launch from 2020-2022.
Cinjon briefly worked as a value investor after MIT (Math & CS) before returning to tech at Quora. He later worked on a series of startups that led him back to machine learning research, joining Google Brain in 2016. He attained his doctorate in CS in 2022 under Professors Cho and Bruna at NYU, focusing first on teaching robots to communicate by playing games, and then on scene understanding in computer vision. In parallel, he helped Dino manage the pool from 2017-2018. Today, he advises, invests in, and builds companies in ML and Crypto.
