A list of helpful resources and best practices to support your journey
As an investor in 200+ companies in the blockchain industry, we've compiled a collection of best practices, recommendations, and resources for our founding teams.
Our goal is for this Guide to serve as a living document that grows with the community of extraordinary companies in the Pantera network and as a depository for valuable references, tools, and wisdom along the way.
If this is your first time visiting the Guide, here are a few ways to get started quickly:
- Are you hiring? Check out the Hiring section for tips on recruiting and compensation planning. The Pantera Talent Network can also be a great way to supplement your talent pipeline. Learn how to leverage it here.
- Looking for services? Our Services section includes vendor recommendations for everything from crypto-friendly banks and law firms to security audit and insurance providers. We've also partnered with leading cloud and business software providers to provide $400k+ of discounts for our portfolio companies here.
- Interested in connecting? Our founding teams often learn best from one another.
- If you're a portfolio founder or executive, you can join the Pantera Portfolio Network Telegram group to share news and ask questions in real-time. Send your Telegram username to a member of the Pantera portfolio team to be added.
- If you'd like to connect directly with others in the Pantera portfolio or broader network, you can contact the Pantera team here for introductions.
- Contribute to the Guide: We encourage all of our founding teams to share your vendor recommendations, articles / guides, or general advice. Please take a moment to submit input, e.g., a favorite vendor or essential read, via our Comment Box.
