As an angel investor, Jason invest in early stage crypto founders, including seed stage at multiple unicorns (e.g. Alpha Finance ($1B), 1inch ($5B), Illuvium ($16B), and others). I co-invested with a16z, Multicoin Capital, Dragonfly Capital and others, and help crypto founders:
- refine feedback loops in token models
- supercharge distribution, and
- find the best investors
Jason Choi invested in Syndicate on Jun 30, 2021. This investment - Seed Round - Syndicate - was valued at $800K.
Jason is one of the most helpful investors for Alpha. From connecting me to key individuals and projects, being available for calls when we need them, staying on top of what we are building, providing valuable feedback for our products, and sharing in-depth analysis on Alpha publicly.

Jason helped us a ton with narrative building through catchup and strategy calls as well as multiple Blockcrunch interviews and tweet threads which got broad positive reception. He’s also generally a wonderful person to jam with in good times or bad and I couldn’t recommend him more highly to be in your corner
