It’s a milestone day – announcing Portal Fund II, an oversubscribed $75M fund, dedicated as the first, only, and best crypto fund exclusively focused on leading pre-seed protocol businesses. For an encapsulation of our work, see Evan's post below. In this post, I’d like to take a moment to share a more personal note on the journey. Truthfully, it feels surreal to see my face on the cover of Fortune Term Sheet. If I could go back to my 15-year-old self—“fresh off the boat” to Canada, struggling in an ESL program—and tell her this would happen one day, she’d surely look at me with an eye roll. VCs, by nature, are pattern-seekers. And as I reflect on my own path, the dominant thread is “know what you want.” From my first day at business school, I knew venture capital was the one true career for me. It was the purest form of epiphany, where seemingly random fragments of my life piece across stages together for a strikingly obvious picture - from my days as a lively child TV anchor in China to a nerdy, taciturn high schooler in Canada leading the science club to the Physics Olympiad - from six years of mastering storytelling in management consulting to gaining insights from some of the most successful companies in web2 and web3 to now inform best practices for my portfolio companies - from designing the crypto course for Wharton, organizing the UPenn Blockchain Conference now three years in a row, to now the dedicated pre-seed focus, in which proximity to talent is a key ingredient. Once you discover what you want with an unyielding will and a “whatever it takes” conviction, it materializes. The real work is figuring out what it is that you truly want, then letting your passion guide you. Here’s mine: to create the future in the present day on crypto rails, and let’s do it together. This milestone would also not have been possible without the most astute thinker, trusted partner, and my Bo-le (伯乐), Evan Fisher. Here’s to a spectacular Fund II and many more funds to come! Big shoutout to Leo Schwartz for the insightful piece & coverage & Anastasia Loureiro Yury Molodtsov MA Family for the amazing work!
