Kyle Samani, co-founder of Multicoin Capital, is stepping back from his daily role to pursue interests in artificial intelligence and robotics. He will continue to support Multicoin's portfolio and make personal crypto investments, particularly in the Solana ecosystem.

Samani co-founded Multicoin in 2017, helping it become a significant player in the crypto venture capital space, managing billions in assets. As of January 15, 2026, Forward Industries, where he remains chairman, pivoted fully to crypto with a $1.65 billion PIPE round. Samani's departure reflects a broader trend connecting crypto with emerging technologies.
