Kyle Samani

Kyle Samani is the co-founder of Multicoin Capital, the thesis-driven crypto investment firm he started in 2017 that became known for leading Solana's seed round in 2018 and for early bets on projects like The Graph and Helium. A former engineer who founded and sold the health IT company Pristine before crypto, he popularized frameworks such as "internet capital markets" and Solana's IBRL (Increase Bandwidth, Reduce Latency) performance thesis. In 2025 he led the $1.65 billion PIPE that turned Forward Industries into the world's largest Solana treasury company and became its chairman, and in 2026 he stepped back from Multicoin's day-to-day operations while remaining Forward's chairman and a vocal Solana advocate. He holds degrees in finance and management from NYU.
