Splits below are computed from 24 companies we classified out of the 130-plus named on hashed.com/portfolio across four Hashed-defined categories (Blockchain Platforms, Financial Infrastructure, Applications, Picks & Shovels); the classified 24 are a representative sample chosen for name recognition and verifiability, not the full list.

C. Overview

C. Overview

Hashed is a Seoul-founded crypto and frontier-tech fund started by Simon Kim, with offices now spanning San Francisco, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Bangalore, a footprint that reflects a genuine APAC-plus-Gulf strategy rather than a Silicon Valley fund with a satellite office. Its own language frames the mandate broadly: "AI, Crypto and frontier tech," backing founders from "day zero to global scale," which is echoed in a portfolio page that names well over 130 companies.

That portfolio page organizes companies into four of Hashed's own categories: Blockchain Platforms (base-layer networks like Aptos, NEAR, Berachain, Dfinity, Ethereum itself and Klaytn), Financial Infrastructure (dYdX, Synthetix, Kyber Network, Fantom, API3), Applications (Axie Infinity, The Sandbox, Decentraland, Yuga Labs, Mythical Games) and Picks & Shovels, the tooling and infrastructure that other builders depend on (Dune, Covalent, CryptoQuant, Human Protocol). The sheer size of the named list, well over a hundred companies with no gating or paywall, is one of the more useful public resources in this directory for founders trying to understand pattern-match at a large fund.

What Hashed does not publish is a structured application, a cheque range, or a named investment team beyond founder Simon Kim. The stated way in is a direct email to contact@hashed.com or in-person contact through the firm's meetup presence across its five cities.

Key stats:

  • 130+ portfolio companies named directly on hashed.com/portfolio
  • Five offices: Seoul, San Francisco, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Bangalore
  • Portfolio spans base-layer networks, DeFi, gaming/consumer applications, and developer tooling
  • No public cheque range or application form; contact@hashed.com is the stated channel

Hashed's site names its founder but does not publish a broader investment team roster on the pages we fetched. Given the firm's five-office structure, other partners and principals almost certainly exist; we are not printing unverified names sourced from third-party trackers here.
