#2Nihal Maunder

Managing Director

HongShan

Nihal's current HSG mandate is not yet public, so the defensible personal thesis comes from his prior first-person and attributed work: blockchain can extend open finance and coordination into payment

No current person-specific HSG check size is publicly disclosed. Historical Pantera work spans early-stage through growth, but those prior fund parameters should not be assumed to apply to his HSG role.

Chief Investment Officer

Hashdex

Samir is a public/liquid-markets asset manager rather than a disclosed venture check writer. Hashdex publishes fund and index methodologies, not a personal startup check range; pitches should concern investable assets, indexes, products, research, or institutional partnerships rather than assume venture capital authority.

#6Michelle Lin

Investment VP

AppWorks

Michelle backs technology that modernizes large, operationally fragmented Southeast Asian industries. Her investment cases combine a clear structural tailwind with deep founder-market fit, resilience

Firm-level: AppWorks publishes a US$200K to US$15M per-deal range across Seed through Series C, with capacity to lead or follow and reserve capital for follow-ons. This is not Michelle's personal allocation range.

Shorooq invests across the equity journey from pre-seed through late-stage growth, but neither the firm nor Kunal publishes his personal check range or decision authority. Portfolio round totals are not treated as check-size evidence.

No John-specific check range is public. DST Global is known for large growth-stage internet investments, but historical firm deal sizes or assets should not be converted into a personal allocation promise. Founders should confirm current stage, geography and round fit directly.

Wintermute Ventures currently publishes flexible $500K–$5M+ global investments, primarily Seed and Series A, using proprietary capital and often leading or co-leading. This is a firm range—not Yoann's personal promise—and the firm also makes selective later-stage investments.

A December 2019 gCC FAQ said the firm typically wrote $250K–$1M checks. Treat this only as a dated historical range, not a current promise: gCC subsequently raised a $110M Fund II and has not published an updated range on its current site. Confirm stage, instrument, ownership and reserves directly.
