Ramtin Naimi skipped college to run his own hedge fund straight out of high school during the 2008 crisis, then built his venture career by creating a custom LinkedIn scraper to track 7,000 operators and get push notifications when they became founders, allowing him to reach out pre-funding. He syndicated dozens of seed deals via AngelList SPVs while still a junior investor, at one point accounting for roughly a third of all AngelList volume with early investments in companies like Solana and Rippling, and has cultivated a cap table of world-class investor-mentors including Marc Andreessen and Stanley Druckenmiller who bought into Abstract's management company.
