Most crypto funds write checks and then wait for a token event. Accelerators push to demo day. Studios stop at prototypes.
MFV does it differently: we invest early, embed with teams, and stay until adoption takes hold. We know this matters because we’ve lived it. As operators who helped build Aptos from an idea into a top-10 Layer 1 blockchain with a $20 billion valuation and more than 200 projects in its ecosystem, we experienced firsthand what it takes to scale real-world adoption — and what’s often missing from the traditional venture model.
MFV was created to close that gap: pairing capital with deep operational expertise so founders can turn conviction into growth.
多数加密基金的做法是：开出支票，然后等待代币上线。加速器的终点是演示日。工作室止步于原型。
MFV 走的是另一条路：我们早期入场，与团队深度绑定，一直陪伴到产品真正被市场接纳。我们深知这一点为何重要，因为这是我们亲历过的路。作为运营者，我们曾参与将 Aptos 从一个想法，建设成为市值200亿美元、生态内拥有超过200个项目、稳居前十的 Layer 1 公链。我们亲身体验过，将产品推向真实世界的大规模采用需要什么——也清楚传统风投模式中，常常缺失的是什么。
MFV 正是为填补这一空白而生：将资本与深厚的运营经验相结合，让创始人能够将信念转化为增长。
Crypto’s foundation is finally in place. Blockchains scale. Stablecoins are moving trillions. Wallets and on-ramps are reliable. Institutions are participating. The next frontier isn’t infrastructure — it's execution. The challenge now is turning conviction into adoption. That requires product discipline, operating muscle, and partners willing to stay in the trenches.
That’s where MFV comes in: we don’t just fund ideas, we help build scale.
加密世界的地基，终于铺就。区块链已具备可扩展性。稳定币正在承载数万亿美元的交易。钱包与法币入口变得可靠。机构开始入场。下一阶段的前沿，不再是基础设施——而是执行。当下的挑战，是将信念转化为用户。这需要产品纪律、运营能力，以及愿意扎根一线的合作伙伴。
这正是 MFV 的用武之地：我们不仅为想法提供资金，更助其实现规模化。
Our approach combines capital with operating muscle through three core programs:
- Founder Residency. A program for operators and technologists ready to become founders. Residents validate markets, ship MVPs, recruit core teams, and leave with early believers, plus a first check from us.
- Invest & Embed. We invest early and work side by side with founders through structured sprints, 12-week operating plans, and ongoing working sessions. When a team needs us on the ground, we show up.
- Beyond the Prototype. We stick with teams until adoption shows up. That means supporting product iteration, building teams, shaping token mechanics, and lining up the first customers.
我们的策略，是通过三大核心项目，将资本与运营能力深度融合：
- 创始人驻留计划。面向那些准备从运营者或技术专家转型为创始人的实践者。驻留期间，他们可以验证市场、发布最小可行产品、组建核心团队，离开时不仅带回一批早期支持者，还有我们提供的第一笔启动资金。
- 投资与嵌入。我们早期投资，并通过结构化冲刺、12周运营计划及持续的工作会议，与创始人并肩作战。当团队需要我们亲临现场时，我们随时出现。
- 不止于原型。我们会陪伴团队，直到产品真正被市场接纳。这意味着支持产品迭代、协助搭建团队、设计代币经济模型、对接首批客户。
We’re four operators who built and scaled Aptos from inception to one of the leading ecosystems in Web3 — and we’re bringing that same operator-first approach to the next generation of builders. We’ve been where founders are — raising rounds, building teams, launching products, and scaling ecosystems. Now, we’re turning that experience into leverage for others.
- Mo Shaikh – generational operator who builds the systems everyone else ends up using; co-founder of Aptos and architect of its scale.
- Neil Harounian – relentless execution from RBC, White Star Capital, and Aptos.
- Alexandre Tang – clarity and long-game strategy from BCG and Aptos.
- Jerome Ong – institutional roots, startup edge and crypto-native lens from GIC, Cloudkitchens and Aptos.
We know what it takes because we’ve carried the weight ourselves.
我们是四位曾参与 Aptos 从零起步、并将其打造为 Web3 头部生态的运营者——如今，我们将同样的运营优先理念，带给新一代的建设者。创始人所经历的：融资、搭团队、发产品、扩生态，我们都走过。现在，我们愿将这份经验，转化为助他人一臂之力的杠杆。
- Mo Shaikh——具有代际视野的运营者，擅长构建让他人赖以运转的系统；Aptos 联合创始人，其规模化进程的主要架构师。
- Neil Harounian——从 RBC、White Star Capital 到 Aptos，始终专注且高效执行的践行者。
- Alexandre Tang——兼具清晰洞察与长期战略视野，出身 BCG 与 Aptos。
- Jerome Ong——融机构底蕴、创业锋芒与加密原生视角于一身，经历横跨 GIC、Cloudkitchens 与 Aptos。
我们深知创业维艰，因为我们曾亲自负重前行。
Even before this launch, we’ve been quietly putting the model into practice.
For each portfolio company, we’ve gone beyond writing a check — recruiting founding team members, defining product loops, connecting teams with design partners, and helping land early users.
As one founder put it, “Working with MFV is less like having an investor and more like gaining a co-founder. They challenged us to anchor our product in community, sharpen the model behind it. Their mix of Web3 insight and deep content expertise – plus the ability to bridge Asia’s content leadership with global audiences – makes them far more than just capital.”
其实在正式启航之前，我们就已悄然将这套模式付诸实践。
对于每一家被投企业，我们所做的远不止于开出支票——我们协助招募创始团队成员、定义产品闭环、对接设计伙伴、帮助获取早期用户。
正如一位创始人所言："与 MFV 合作，感觉不像多了一个投资人，更像是多了一位联合创始人。他们推动我们将产品根植于社区，打磨背后的商业模式。他们融合了 Web3 的深刻洞见与扎实的内容专业度，加上链接亚洲内容创作者与全球受众的能力——这让他们远不止于资本。"
Our playing field is the whole world: founders, users, and the entire crypto ecosystem. Our edge is Asia.
It’s where we learned what real adoption looks like, building Aptos from scratch and working with exchanges, banks, developers, and communities who made it scale. That experience taught us how to turn early traction into lasting growth.
Now, we’re bridging that same operator-driven approach to help founders find their first believers, grow faster, and expand globally.
Asia leads in open-source crypto development, and everyday crypto applications. Remittances across East Asia and the Pacific exceed $130 billion annually, and markets like Hong Kong are pioneering retail-accessible BTC and ETH ETFs.
我们的舞台，是整个世界：创始人、用户、以及整个加密生态。我们的优势，在亚洲。
正是在这里，我们学到了何为真正的用户采用。从零开始构建 Aptos，与那些让规模化成为现实的交易所、银行、开发者、社区密切协作——这段经历教会我们，如何将早期的势能转化为持久的增长。
如今，我们将同样的运营驱动理念，用于帮助创始人找到第一批信徒，加速成长，走向全球。
亚洲，是开源加密开发与日常加密应用的前沿阵地。东亚与太平洋地区的年度汇款额超过1300亿美元，而香港等市场已率先推出面向散户的比特币与以太坊 ETF。
Our goal is simple: to prove that operator-led capital outperforms passive capital in crypto. Success will mean founders can point to MFV not just for a check — but for the build, the support, and the scale that followed.
If you’re a founder (or ready to become one), we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s build.
我们的目标朴素而坚定：证明在加密领域，由运营者主导的资本，远胜于被动资本。成功意味着，当创始人提及 MFV 时，想到的不仅仅是一张支票——而是随之而来的共同建设、持续支持与规模化的旅程。
如果你是一位创始人（或正准备成为一位创始人），我们期待与你交流。
让我们一起，开始构建。
