Early Investments
CMCC Global was founded in 2016 and is one of Asia’s first venture capital funds focused solely on blockchain investments. Today we manage three funds and have offices in Asia and North America. Our team has a mixture of deep technical and business experience.
At CMCC we believe that blockchain technology is bringing about the next era of the Internet, which will facilitate the movement of value rather than just information. The core thesis of our fund is to invest in the “core technical and social infrastructure” that will power this new Internet of Value. We believe that there will be regional disparities in blockchain platforms and that the speed of adoption will vary geographically. We look for teams with a clear path to adoption and we leverage global relationships to help our portfolio companies bridge the East-West divide.
