The attorneys, accountants, and operators who structured these instruments from the inside.
Assembled across tier-one proprietary trading, global financial regulators, top private equity groups, and the institutional digital asset ecosystem.
In November 2022, at the bottom of the post-FTX collapse, Panther Hollow structured equity positions in founders the market had priced at zero. When institutional capital had retreated and most operators were standing down, we moved toward the founders we believed in — and built the infrastructure around them. That decision, made under pressure and without precedent, is the foundation of the firm.
We did not enter this market from the outside. We structured the instruments, advised the protocols, and built the legal architecture before any fund check was written. The conviction that defines the firm was tested by adversity, not confirmed by a bull market.
Panther Hollow operates as a closed-loop platform: we build the infrastructure our capital deploys into, and we operate the administrative and acceleration backbone that our portfolio companies run on. Two strategies. One operating platform. One team.
