Hashed (also styled #Hashed) is a venture capital firm investing in blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, and other frontier technologies. Its team operates across Seoul, Singapore, San Francisco, Bengaluru, and Abu Dhabi. The firm backs founders and supports portfolio companies with investment, technical work, and business development.
Investment and company building
Hashed invests in startups and decentralized protocols. Its portfolio spans blockchain infrastructure, financial applications, gaming, and consumer services. The firm describes its role as a second team for founders, combining capital with help developing products and communities.
Hashed lists UNOPND, Hashed Emergent, and Hashed Open Research as related initiatives with their own operations. UNOPND focuses on venture building, Hashed Emergent works with founders in emerging markets, and Hashed Open Research publishes policy and digital-asset research. Their activities should be distinguished from those of an individual Hashed investment fund or portfolio company.
History and leadership
Hashed began in 2017. CryptoSlate's 2018 interview with its founding team described its early development from pooled partner capital into a crypto investment business. Historical fund figures in that coverage describe the period reported, rather than current assets under management.
The official team roster lists Simon Seojoon Kim as CEO and Managing Partner, Ryan Sungho Kim and Ethan Kyuntae Kim as cofounders and partners, Sean Hong as CFO and Partner, Baek Kim as Partner, and Edward Hong as CPO and Partner. Jin Kang leads global legal work, and Medha Srivastava is General Counsel.
Research and regional initiatives
Hashed Open Research publishes reports on digital-asset regulation, capital markets, and stablecoins. Its 2026 publications include comparisons of national regulatory strategies and research on Korean won stablecoins. CryptoSlate also carried the April 2026 announcement of its joint policy report with ADGM, following a roundtable held during Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025.
The firm lists several operating bases without designating a single global headquarters on its About page. That page also provides its current office addresses and contact email.
