Select Companies
and Investments.

The best entries come before the category has a name. We back where the strongest developers concentrate, ahead of institutional capital, while price still reflects uncertainty, not consensus.

The book spans gaming infrastructure, digital assets, fan economies, decentralised AI, and Asia consumer, most of it entered before the sector had institutional buyers. That is where the asymmetry sits.

What follows is the public record, name by name, year by year.

“Pylon has been an important strategic partner since our launch. They sharpen our focus and get in the trenches with us to execute. Simply put, they’re the best at what they do.”

We publish
before we invest.

The thesis goes on the record before the capital does, so you can see exactly what we believed and when.

We called Bittensor before $TAO crossed a $100M market cap, and flagged $VIRTUALS and the agentic economy before either had institutional coverage. The archive runs to 2022, all of it public.

Conviction compounds when the timestamps are honest.

Built in
the market.

We built before we invested. Token foundation strategy at IMX, fan token rollouts across eighty-plus clubs at Chiliz, the CMO seat at an a16z-backed studio, consumer private equity across Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. That record is how we underwrite.

We sit alongside founders, not above them. Dealflow comes through operator networks built over a decade, not inbound forms. Fableborne, Castile, and Bittensor all reached us that way, early.

We back operators who compound over ten years, not one cycle.

Jack began in private equity across APAC, then led strategy for the $IMX Token Foundation through the launch of crypto’s #1 gaming token. He has worked both sides, allocator and operator, and that dual lens shapes how Pylon underwrites today.
