Cross-Border Technology

AppWorks

Check: Firm-level: AppWorks publishes a US$200K to US$15M per-deal range across Seed through Series C, with capacity to lead or follow and reserve capital for follow-ons. This is not Joseph's personal allocation range.

Joseph's role is centered on the financial and operating foundation around an investment: portfolio management, fundraising structure, investor alignment, and Japan-Taiwan ecosystem access. His published framework treats a priced round as the start of a long-term relationship, favors good-faith negotiation over zero-sum optimization, and asks founders to raise only after evidence such as an MVP, customers, or traction creates a credible use for the capital.

Hashed

Check: No personal or role-specific check range is publicly disclosed. Hashed describes itself as an early, hands-on investor across AI, crypto and frontier technology; founders should confirm vehicle, round and decision process directly rather than infer authority from title.

SJ combines strategic-investment experience in gaming and entertainment with broad early-stage venture diligence and cross-border operating work. His current public activity centers on connecting Korean technology and builders with Abu Dhabi's capital, institutions and market-access infrastructure. Within Hashed's wider mandate, that supports companies at the intersection of AI, crypto, consumer adoption and frontier technology that can travel between Asian and Middle Eastern ecosystems.
