2 VCs and 6 funds investing in Messaging
Investor
CoinFund
Check: No personal check range or led CoinFund investment is publicly disclosed. Azi joined the investment team in July 2026; his official profile cites earlier seed investments in Osmosis and Ondo, but those do not establish a current CoinFund ticket or independent authority.
Azi looks for sovereign, user-controlled computing across crypto and AI. His interests span decentralized AI, novel consumer applications, applied privacy, new Layer 1 designs and post-quantum infrastructure. Founder experience sharpened his focus on timing, distribution, capital formation and sustainable business models: a technically correct thesis can still be too early or fail to reach a durable market.
Partner
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.
