He is doubling down on investment in blockchain- and web3-related technologies, believing that they will continue to decentralize and disrupt various industries, and change the world for the better.Guiding philosophyMr. Law-Kun's guiding philosophy is centered on the belief that technology will continue to decentralize and disrupt various industries, creating new opportunities in the process.

"Driven by these convictions, Mr. Law-Kun is also focused on bridging the gap between the East and the West and bringing institutional investors into the fold. "I believe that my approach to investing in blockchain technology reflects the growing trend of institutional investors becoming more involved in the space, with a focus on web3 tooling, gaming applications, and infrastructure protocols," says Mr. Law-Kun.Long-term thesisAccording to Mr. Law-Kun, the current market turbulence in the blockchain industry presents an opportunity for venture capitalists to back strong teams and deals at more attractive valuations. He is optimistic about the future of the technology and believes that the organizations he supports will continue to drive value and shape the industry in the years to come. He sees the current situation as a temporary blip, rather than a sign of any long-term challenges for the industry.A rising star in blockchain and web3The 26-year-old Mr. Law-Kun is the founder of Double Peak Group, which he founded with his personal life savings at the age of 21, and since then, he has successfully invested in over 70 portfolio companies, including the Australian unicorn startup Immutable X.After graduating from university in 2019, Mr. Law-Kun joined the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as part of their Hong Kong team focused on blockchain.
