Distinct shells carrying a filed role for this person — not every shell they have ever touched.
SEC-verified vehicles of the same sponsor, predating these roles and carrying none of them. The badge counts them; the figure beside this one does not.
Mergers closed across all 2 — these vehicles and the franchise's earlier ones together.
Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 2.
No closed vehicle here has both a stored price and a filed trust value to score it against.
1 vehicle on file, newest listing first
none appears on more than one
Alexey "Lex" Sokolin (born 1984) is a serial fintech entrepreneur, venture investor, and executive who currently serves as President of InterPrivate Investment Partners V, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPVVU), a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and headquartered at 1350 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY. The SPAC priced its IPO on June 4, 2026, raising $175 million through the sale of 17.5 million units at $10.00 each, with Cantor as lead manager and EarlyBirdCapital as co-manager; the offering ultimately closed at $201.25 million on June 5, 2026. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, with warrants expiring May 27, 2031. Sokolin was named President and designated as an officer and reporting person on the company's initial Form 3 filed June 10, 2026. He serves alongside CEO Ahmed Fattouh and Alan Pinto on a management team whose experience spans private equity, technology, digital assets, and blockchain, and the sponsor is controlled by affiliates of Fattouh and InterPrivate, a private investment firm that invests primarily in partnership with family offices and independent private equity and venture capital sponsors. Affiliates of the management team have sponsored four prior special purpose acquisition companies, each pursuing a distinct investment strategy.
In parallel with his SPAC role, Sokolin is the Managing Partner and co-Founder of Generative Ventures, a venture capital fund investing in what he describes as the "Machine Economy" powered by fintech, accelerated by AI, and settled on Web3. His focus areas include artificial intelligence, decentralized finance, crypto, and autonomous agents. He is also the founder and CEO of Fintech Blueprint, an industry newsletter reaching over 200,000 subscribers, and he has contributed to publications including the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, Bloomberg, the Financial Times, Reuters, Coindesk, American Banker, ThinkAdvisor, and Investment News. He has been recognized as an Agenda Contributor by the World Economic Forum.
Sokolin's career trajectory reflects a deep and evolving engagement with financial technology. He served as Chief Economist, Chief Marketing Officer, and Global Fintech Co-Head at ConsenSys, a leading Web3 blockchain software company, where he focused on protocol cryptoeconomics, digital assets, public and private blockchains, decentralized finance, and DAOs. Prior to ConsenSys, he was Global Director of FinTech Strategy at Autonomous Research, an equity research firm serving institutional investors, where he covered artificial intelligence, blockchain, neobanks, digital lenders, roboadvisors, payments, insurtech, and mixed reality. Before Autonomous Research, he was Chief Operating Officer at AdvisorEngine (formerly known as Vanare), a digital wealthtech platform that was the first to combine a robo-advisor with traditional wealth management, where he led product design and corporate development. He was also the founder and CEO of NestEgg Wealth, a roboadvisor that pioneered online wealth management in partnership with financial advisors. He began his career in investment management and banking at Barclays, Lehman Brothers, and Deutsche Bank.
Sokolin holds a JD/MBA from Columbia University, where he was enrolled in the joint law and business school program, and a B.A. in Economics and Law from Amherst College. He is admitted to practice law in New York. He is based in New York and has also been associated with London, England. Beyond his professional pursuits, Sokolin describes himself as a digital media artist fascinated by recurrent neural networks and creative AI, and he maintains active presences on social media platforms including Threads, X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Farcaster, and Medium, where he shares insights on the convergence of fintech, crypto, and artificial intelligence.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001845801 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
