Jason Choi and Daryl Wang, both former executives at VC firms in Asia, are launching a Web3 investment firm.
The new firm, called Tangent, is committing both"time and capital in a select few Web3 companies every quarter as angel investors," the website states. The firm won't accept outside funding or charge management fees, according to Bloomberg. The firm will work with 2 to 5 early-stage crypto projects every quarter"using an undisclosed small pool of proprietary capital," the website states.
Choi was previously general partner at Spartan Capital, and Wang was previously principal at DeFiance Capital in Singapore. “Over the last cycle, we’ve kind of confirmed that web3 and crypto are here to stay,” said Wang in an interview to Bloomberg. “In what form it takes or how long it will take to get there is up for debate -- but you know, in an extended depressed market, it provides a lot of diamonds in the rough for us to support and hopefully, to push the space forward for the better.”
Advisors at Tangent include Gabby Dixon, cofounder of Yield Guild Games, a play-to-earn game; 0xMaki, cofounder of SushiSwap, a platform to buy and sell crypto assets; Sam Kazemian, founder of Frax Protocol; Tasha Punyaneramitdee, cofounder of Alpha Venture DAO, and others listed on the website."At a time where actors are withdrawing from crypto, we're here to stay and build.
