Asia

Blockchain Capital

Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. Blockchain Capital describes itself as a multi-stage crypto investor; Yuan's public work spans seed-stage selection through later protocol and company support, but no individual allocation authority should be inferred.

Yuan backs crypto-native founders with earned insight, behavioral resilience, learning velocity, and the ability to translate non-consensus ideas into enduring systems. His technical work spans modular infrastructure, cryptographic acceleration, token economics, and network utility; his consumer work emphasizes distribution through existing behavior and trusted platforms. His latest framework looks for crypto companies that exploit a temporary market gap, build a self-reinforcing growth loop, and graduate that advantage into durable trust, integrations, liquidity, compliance, or consumer-grade product.

NGC Ventures

Check: No first-party personal or firm check range is published. Third-party directories repeat a $100K–$5M estimate, but it is excluded here because NGC's own site does not substantiate it; founders should confirm stage and ticket directly.

Wayne's record points to foundational network investing informed by public-market research: he supported Solana and Algorand early, before their ecosystems became established, and NGC's current portfolio spans base layers, infrastructure, DeFi, data, compute and interchain systems. His likely edge is connecting protocol economics and technical roadmaps to market adoption across Asian and global ecosystems.

CMT Digital

Check: Firm-level public estimate: $100K-$5M; typical check around $1.5M

Ilag is CMT Digital's Investment Partner and Head of Asia, investing through the firm's early-stage blockchain strategy. His published Tazapay thesis favors full-stack cross-border payment infrastructure that connects real-time local rails with stablecoins while directly owning licensing, liquidity, compliance, and settlement complexity.

Hashed

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. A 2022 Notifi investment note identifies a $2.5M pre-seed round led by Hashed, while the firm's 2021 Venture Fund II was $200M; neither figure should be treated as Baek's standard or current personal ticket.

Baek invests in infrastructure and applications that make decentralized systems useful to ordinary users. His writing connects mass adoption to better user experience, privacy-preserving computation, composable open finance, cross-chain communication and hands-on ecosystem building. He favors teams with deep technical foundations that can turn a missing protocol primitive into a broad platform and reach global scale from strong local communities.

Hack VC

Check: No personal check range is publicly disclosed. Hack VC says it partners at the earliest stages across crypto, AI and frontier technology, and the firm led GAIB's seed round; neither the round nor third-party ticket estimates establish Herbie's standard or unilateral check authority.

Herbie invests at the intersection of crypto, AI and productive infrastructure. His GAIB thesis treats compute as a scarce commodity that can become an investable, yield-producing on-chain asset, financing cloud and data-center growth while opening participation in AI economics. His prior fund-building and advisory work across Asia supports a cross-border ecosystem lens as well as a founder/operator perspective.
