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 Sophie's personal allocation range.

Sophie backs Asian founders applying AI to transformative products and organizational models. Her current work spans personalized AI, gaming, agentic systems, and AI-enabled work; her broader investment record also favors founders digitizing large Southeast Asian industries. Her public-market background informs a disciplined lens on balanced growth: product-market fit first, steadily improving margins, an explicit path to profitability, and evidence strong enough to resist FOMO.

DST Global

Check: No John-specific check range is public. DST Global is known for large growth-stage internet investments, but historical firm deal sizes or assets should not be converted into a personal allocation promise. Founders should confirm current stage, geography and round fit directly.

John's documented investment record centers on globally scaling internet and consumer-technology platforms. Public profiles associate him with DST investments in Spotify, JD.com and Didi and exits or public listings including Xiaomi, Meituan and Kuaishou. The repeatable lens is growth-stage platform scale, large addressable markets, strong network or marketplace effects and the ability to compound across geographies—not Maki.vc's early-stage Web3 mandate.

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 Jessica's personal allocation range.

Jessica invests across Southeast Asian consumer internet and blockchain, especially where deep technology improves a familiar consumer behavior or unlocks a regional distribution advantage. Her portfolio and writing emphasize strong user experience, scalable community or network effects, methodical technical execution, and go-to-market models that can start bottom-up before expanding into larger enterprise or regional relationships.
