🎙️ Ep. 696 Hashed | Web3 Venture Fund (feat. Wooster Han)

For episode 696 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Wooster Han, Head of Communications for Hashed.Founded by a team of serial entrepreneurs and engineers in 2017, Hashed is the preeminent blockchain firm in Asia with a portfolio that spans the globe.

They started Hashed because they saw an opportunity for blockchain to not only reinvent the global financial system, but the very fabric of the internet itself. This is one of the most consequential moments in human history, an opportunity to overlay the power of digital networks onto human ones, and to usher in a future where technology empowers individuals, and not the other way around.

Their mission is to accelerate the mass adoption of blockchain by investing their own resources and empowering a new wave of entrepreneurs and innovators who are creating this future.
