• He is a leader in Web3, generative AI, and digital asset innovation, serving as Cofounder and Managing Partner of a venture studio focused on next-generation infrastructure.

21:13- What opportunities and trends in Web3 and AI are you most excited about at Pan Industrial Platforms?

• Building venture-scalable solutions that help mid-to-large enterprises adopt AI and Web3 while giving startups access to real workflows, data, and customers.
• Applying generative AI to automate compliance, mid-office, and back-office functions that were previously not economically viable.
• Advancing stablecoins, blockchain-based market infrastructure, and supply-chain systems, now accelerated by improving regulatory tailwinds.

38:26- How should investors navigate the convergence of the S10 technologies?

• Understand how AI, compute, quantum, energy, and advanced manufacturing reinforce each other rather than evaluating each technology in isolation.
• Focus on foundational capabilities (compute, infrastructure, platforms, and tooling) that benefit from convergence regardless of which technology leads.
• Continuously challenge assumptions, update mental models, and treat forecasting as an iterative process rather than a fixed prediction.
