Profile bio

About Kevin Ding

Investor, builder, cryptographer.GP of funds totaling over 1B in capital for incubation and investment. Working/researching at the frontiers of AI and blockchain technologies since 2013. Over the years, I've built great relationships with leading minds in the core academic and entrepreneurial ecosystems. I'm often the 1st signal investor in daring technical founders with contrarian ideas, and leverage my broad range of resources/experiences to incubate category defining company. Nothing excites me more than incubating shoulder to shoulder with our entrepreneurial partners to bring a seemingly contrarian vision to reality. Since 2013, I've been one of the earliest backers in 20+ unicorn AI companies and 30+ leading crypto protocols, such as:*Deliverr(Seed/A, acq'ed by Shopify for $2.1B), *Flexport(A, ~a16z led $8B val), *Branch Metrics(B, $4B val), *Viz.ai(Seed/A,$1.2B val), *AutoX(Seed, ~$3B val), *Tubi (A, by Fox for $500M), *Grubmarket(A, ~$1B val), *Rippling(Seed, KPCB led $11B val) , PayJoy, *Cohesity(B,C, $5B val), *Mercury (Seed,$1.6B val), *Density (A, $1B val), *Side (Seed, $2B val), Roblox, Plaid, *Optimizely (acq'ed by Episerver), *Cognito (acq'ed by Plaid), *PathAI , *OtterAI, *Beam, DialPad, Anthropic, Perplexity, Rewind AI, Stability AI, Cohere, Tavus, CoreWeave, xAI, openAI, Plaid. *IPFS/Filecoin (Seed, ~$10B), Dfinity, *Hadera (Seed, ~$10B), *Compound (Seed, ~$5B), *Cosmos(A, ~$5B), *Brave Browser (Seed, ~$1B), *Fantom (Seed, ~$5B), *Ontology (Seed), *Chia, *Certik (Seed, ~$2B), *Starkware (Seed, ~$8B), Avalanche, FedML, Babylon(Seed), *Eigenlayer, LayerZero, Theta(Seed, ~$5B), Figure, Celer, Blockfolio, Infstones, Cobo, Uniswap, Coinlist, Lorenzo, 30+ enduring category leaders.I've developed a unique approach to building enduring web3 companies, combining lessons learned in the front row seat of the evolutionary process of over 30 category leaders, and bring significant unfair advantage to my next portfolio company. I'm one of the earliest backer of PolyChain Capital(2016), Pantera Capital(2016), HackVC, Berkeley Fund(2017).

Lead the first round. Founded by Stanford Prof. David Tse, Babylon aims to leverage bitcoin network security to enhance PoS chains. Babylon has created a staking and restaking primitive for Bitcoin. Bitcoin can now be staked trustlessly with self-custody to secure proof-of-stake ecosystems. This is the first safe and scalable yield opportunity for Bitcoin holders that does not involve bridging or third party custody or moving BTC off-chain. This also extends Bitcoin's superior security and decentralization properties to all of web3 and creates a $1T staking asset.
