What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned venture capital investor with over 10 years of experience in finance, specializing in the Crypto and Web3 sectors.

Since then, I have immersed myself in public chains and their application communities, contributing to various projects and building a robust network within the industry.
As the Investment Vice President at Atlas Capital, I led a team that achieved an impressive average book value return of over 350%. My focus on user applications and infrastructure in the Crypto space has allowed me to work with notable portfolios, including $MASK and $RSS3. I have also played a pivotal role in establishing and operating a $200M AUM Web3 fund, navigating the complexities of fund management and token listings while maintaining strong connections with investors across China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
