Lookout's read

How Lookout reads this fund.

The dominant crypto VC in Korea and a genuine bridge into Asian liquidity, distribution and gaming culture — Story Protocol, Aptos and Sandbox show it sources category leaders early. The Terra/LUNA blowup is a permanent asterisk on its judgment and why AUM cratered, but it survived and stayed active.

Fund thesis

What they back.

A coming 'protocol economy' where assets tokenize and Asia drives the next adoption wave — back early-stage global founders with long-term capital, acceleration and community, anchored in Korea's deep crypto base.
