Partner at gumi Cryptos Capital
Check size: gCC's older first-party FAQ stated typical $250K–$1M checks at friends-and-family through pre-Series A, occasionally Series A. Treat this as historical firm guidance—not Evans's personal or necessarily current range—and confirm Fund II sizing, lead appetite and structure directly.
Evans leads gCC's Asia strategy with a consumer-crypto and multi-chain background. His prior portfolio and current mandate point to high-conviction early-stage founders building foundational Web3 layers or applications where blockchain provides a meaningful competitive advantage, especially digital entertainment, consumer infrastructure, decentralized applications, middleware and cross-ecosystem products in Asia.
Lead with the founder insight, user or developer problem and why blockchain is essential; show product, traction, ecosystem position, token and equity design, security, competitive edge and Asia-to-global distribution. State round, requested capital, milestones and whether gCC is being asked to lead; confirm current sizing rather than quoting the old FAQ.
World-class builders, exceptional personal achievement or resilience, a large consumer or infrastructure problem, blockchain as a necessary advantage, high conviction at an early stage, strong regional insight with global potential, credible product execution and founders who want a hands-on long-term investor.
No personal pass list is published. gCC's stated approach implies weak fit for blockchain added without competitive value, undifferentiated infrastructure, weak founder commitment, projects optimized for a short market cycle, unclear product utility and Asia strategies based only on geography rather than user or ecosystem insight.
Name the ownership, composability, coordination, trust or distribution benefit that produces a defensible outcome unavailable to a conventional application.
Separate unique regional user behavior and partnerships from the product primitives that can travel across markets.
Measure repeated product value, cohort retention and organic behavior independently from incentives and speculative market activity.
Evaluate whether founders, governance and capital structure can survive weak cycles while continuing to ship and compound ecosystem trust.
