Jim Parillo

Jim Parillo is the Managing Partner of Figment Capital, an early-stage crypto venture firm that spun out of staking infrastructure provider Figment Inc. in 2021. Before moving into investing, he spent years as a tax managing director at KPMG, where he led the firm's digital asset fund tax practice nationally, an unusual path into venture that he has discussed openly on podcasts. Under Parillo, Figment Capital's first fund backed infrastructure projects including Celestia, EigenLayer, Mysten Labs, and zkSync, and the firm went on to raise a second fund targeting early-stage blockchain infrastructure and applications. He is a frequent guest on shows like 0xResearch and Bell Curve, where he discusses DeFi infrastructure, crypto venture trends, and go-to-market strategy.
