3 VCs and 1 funds investing in Data Availability
Investment Director
HashKey Capital
Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. HashKey Capital operates multiple venture, liquid, and multi-strategy vehicles; fund size and disclosed portfolio rounds should not be converted into Yerui's individual authority.
Yerui is a HashKey investment director with documented fund-committee responsibility and a contributor to the firm's technical sector research. The research evaluates infrastructure and applications across ZK, MEV, intents, account abstraction, data availability, Bitcoin, AI x crypto, DePIN, staking, and related Web3 layers. The consistent lens is whether technical design improves transaction flow, verifiability, capital efficiency, decentralization, and real demand.
Sr. Investment Research Associate
HashKey Capital
Check: No reliable personal check range or individual signing authority is public. Jin Ming Neo is a research associate, so founders should treat HashKey Capital's fund strategy—not a directory estimate—as the relevant context and confirm stage, allocation, lead role, ownership, token/equity structure, and decision process with the investment team.
Jin Ming Neo contributes to broad, research-led sector evaluation across Web3. HashKey's coauthored 1H 2024 analysis favors teams with defined technical advantages, credible go-to-market, or proven execution; AI and DePIN infrastructure with real demand; sustainable Bitcoin utility; institution-grade trading, staking, lending, stablecoin, and derivatives infrastructure; and products that solve ecosystem maturity, adoption, liquidity, or user-experience constraints.
Venture Partner
NGC Ventures
Check: NGC does not publish a verified personal check range for Kay. The firm describes early-stage Web3 infrastructure investing and research support; founders should confirm the applicable vehicle, initial token/equity structure, ownership and reserves directly.
Kay backs technically ambitious infrastructure founders, with disclosed investments spanning zero-knowledge scaling, modular data availability, decentralized grants and on-chain agreements. His software background and on-chain participation fit NGC's broader long-term thesis: solve a real blockchain bottleneck with a simple, fast, affordable and distinctive design, then work hands-on from technical strategy to adoption.
