About

Background
Keda Che

My career began at Harvard's innovation ecosystem and IDEO, where I learned human-centered design while exploring early blockchain applications with institutional partners like Fidelity Future Lab, Citi Ventures and Ethereum Foundation.

Since then, I've founded and led ventures across enterprise blockchain, consumer hardware, DePIN, digital assets, stablecoins, DAO, AI products, AI-assisted healthcare, and AI-for-Science initiatives.

My core strength: identifying a frontier technology shift before it becomes mainstream, recruiting the right experts, converting fragmented signals into a coherent thesis, and turning uncertain opportunities into product roadmaps, prototypes, and execution plans.

A few proof points: my hardware venture raised $16M and grew a global community of 100,000 members; Ownership Foundation, which I co-founded, raised $30M in 15 minutes. The research side compounds too — analyzing 1,000+ crypto projects a year led me to distill CNL (Cycle–Narrative–Liquidity), an investment framework born in crypto's compressed market cycles and applicable to any market where capital, narratives, and liquidity interact.
