Paul Malin
@paulmalin
I build enterprise revenue, strategic partnerships, and market opportunities for emerging technology ventures.
What I'm looking for
I've built enterprise revenue and strategic partnerships across software, mobile, decentralized infrastructure, and consumer crypto. I work with founders and leadership teams to shape commercial strategy, win anchor customers, and open new markets.
At Cambrian Ecosystem, I co-founded ventures across decentralized infrastructure, programmable markets, and consumer crypto. I co-founded Cambrian Protocol, raised more than funding, joined Techstars, and developed commercial relationships across SKY/MakerDAO, Filecoin and decentralized-data ecosystems.
At CitySourced, I helped triple recurring revenue while leading partnerships, reseller channels, and major accounts. I structured a Microsoft-led City of Cleveland engagement worth multiples of their ARPU and leveraged that to source the company’s acquisition.
Previously, I opened Vortex Connect’s U.S. operation and landed the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey through a seven-figure engagement. I also built Vortex Mobile’s new social-media practice from zero to approximately 45% of company mobile-only revenue.
