In this episode of Web3Unchained, we speak with Ryan Sungho Kim, a Partner at Hashed, a leading blockchain firm in Asia. Ryan specializes in Web3 investments across Asia, focusing on applications, corporate finance, and enterprise solutions.

Before joining Hashed, Ryan successfully exited his company, LOOKET—a mobile solution for SMEs—selling it to Recobell, a big data company. His work on developing recommendation systems in his previous venture revealed deep vulnerabilities in the data space, which ultimately led him to explore blockchain technology. This passion for decentralized solutions played a pivotal role in his decision to co-found Hashed.

Founded in 2017 by a team of serial entrepreneurs and engineers, Hashed has grown into the preeminent blockchain firm in Asia, with a diverse portfolio spanning the globe. Ryan shares his vision for the future of blockchain, explaining, "We 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—a chance to overlay the power of digital networks onto human ones, and to usher in a future where technology empowers individuals, not the other way around."
