  • Me3

    Participated · Seed · Oct 2025

    Gacha Galaxy operates a Web3 discovery platform that ranks blockchain projects by combining on-chain activity, market movements, and curated sentiment signals rather than raw social engagement figures. Headquartered in Bangkok, the company reports more than 200,000 registered users and has recorded peak periods of over 1 million monthly interactions. Its ecosystem includes 75+ partner brands across multiple Web3 sectors, and user participation features such as voting and sentiment inputs feed directly into the ranking algorithms. With the newly secured capital, Gacha Galaxy plans to scale its discovery infrastructure and add tools for analyzing prediction-market activity. The roadmap also outlines a collaborative framework for automated and AI-driven prediction-market agents that will provide shared analysis and reputation tracking. Management emphasizes transparency and data quality as key competitive differentiators in the crowded crypto analytics landscape.

  • Mind Network

    Participated · Series A · Sep 2024

    Mind Network builds an FHE layer that enables encrypted computation and consensus for AI and PoS networks. Its flagship product, MindV, provides an FHE voting solution and a "shared private state" to compute directly on encrypted data. MindV introduces Total Governance Value (TGV) and vFHE to decouple staking assets from voting rights, allowing holders of staked assets to obtain vFHE and participate in FHE voting. The layer accepts restaking tokens from ETH, BTC, and AI bluechips and operates as an FHE validation network for Decentralized AI, DePIN, EigenLayer, Symbiotic, Babylon AVS, and other PoS networks. Mind Network announced a $10M Pre-A on September 26, 2024 to accelerate development of its FHE infrastructure and expand security for AI and PoS ecosystems. The company plans to integrate additional staking protocols and continue releasing supporting infrastructure, with initial TGV partners including Puffer, Etherfi, Mellow, Manta Network, Stakestone, Solv, Bouncebit, Swell, and Pencils.
