The record is what it is: Adjunct Professor, Columbia Business School; Explainer-in-Chief of crypto. Nothing below is filed — it is the shape the seat would take if the current trajectory holds, and it is re-scored every time a new public source lands.
🔭 co-invest pattern with strategicsExpect the mandate to widen before it deepens. Watch whether Columbia Business School adds an adjacent function to the seat rather than a bigger title on the same one.
🔭 whether a flagship is marked downA second mandate is the normal move here — a board seat, a fund-side advisory role, or an operating chair next to the current one. The tell is a first public co-signature, not an announcement.
🔭 dry-powder deployment paceFirst capital event window. Either a priced round behind Columbia Business School or a personal vehicle appears. Watch dry-powder deployment pace rather than the headline valuation.
🔭 LP composition changesJurisdictional switch is the highest-probability structural change from New York, NY, USA (Columbia). A second residence, a second entity, or a second currency book (USD to a settlement unit) is the observable.
🔭 first close size on the next vehicleInstitutional shell forms: a holding vehicle, a family-office wrapper or a named co-investment club. Shells are quiet — the disclosure arrives through registry filings, not posts.
🔭 co-invest pattern with strategicsDistribution becomes the constraint. At this horizon the question is who carries Columbia Business School's output and this seat's name, and on what terms. Watch LP composition changes.
🔭 whether a flagship is marked downSuccession pressure. Either a named deputy appears under the seat or the seat is re-scoped away from day-to-day. Both read as the same signal from outside.
🔭 dry-powder deployment paceSecond-order liquidity: secondary sales, a tender, or a strategic minority into Columbia Business School. This is where an OSINT file usually goes stale for six months and then re-prices.
🔭 LP composition changesRecord consolidation. By here the file should be readable as a single arc rather than a list of events, and the New York, NY, USA (Columbia) base stops being the interesting part.
🔭 first close size on the next vehicleEnd-of-horizon check. Re-read 2026 against 2036: the useful output is which of the eleven rows actually printed, and which were noise carried by the market rather than the person.
