Polychain Capital is one of the world's largest and most impactful crypto fund with $10B AUM. I’m an early backer/investor of Polychain on the GP holding company entity side since when it was just founded in 2016 when they started out raising the 1st 4m vehicle. It's exhilarating to have the opportunity to invest and work with such a wonderful team of crypto native investors since their founding! Polychain portfolios include Eigenlayer, Polyhedra, Arbitrum, Uniswap, Cubist, Dydx, etc.

Lead the first round. Founded by Stanford Prof. David Tse, Babylon aims to leverage bitcoin network security to enhance PoS chains. Babylon has created a staking and restaking primitive for Bitcoin. Bitcoin can now be staked trustlessly with self-custody to secure proof-of-stake ecosystems. This is the first safe and scalable yield opportunity for Bitcoin holders that does not involve bridging or third party custody or moving BTC off-chain. This also extends Bitcoin's superior security and decentralization properties to all of web3 and creates a $1T staking asset.

Built and raised one of the earliest institutional crypto VC funds since 2014, with several hundred millions usd raised. Invest across early to growth stage, both equity and crypto deals, with offices in Silicon valley and Beijing. Trained as a math Olympiad medalist, I believe in leveraging breakthrough technology to achieve “in math we trust”.

In first principles, I invest in mathematically inspired systems such as data center technologies and multichain computing paradigms to achieve the goal of performance and security, and to extend the digital computing horizon.
