EVEREST FUND

Everest Fund invests in and accelerates innovation in the Avalanche ecosystem. It is a fund by CMCC Global, one of Asia’s earliest venture capital investors to focus entirely on blockchain technology and web3 innovation.

Everest focuses on liquid and early-stage token investments in the Avalanche ecosystem. As a blockchain-specific fund, Everest identifies and supports the highest quality Avalanche protocols across key verticals such as technical infrastructure, social infrastructure, decentralized finance and decentralized consumer applications. The fund has a global mandate with a focus on Asia Pacific and North America, leveraging its regional roots.

Everest Fund’s investment strategy focuses on the liquid tokens of the most innovative Avalanche ecosystem projects and pre-seed, seed and series A investments. Everest is CMCC Global’s most recent fund strategy that complements its Digital Asset Funds (that have been investing directly into protocols and crypto assets since 2016), the Crest family of funds (that invest into crypto quant funds) and the Titan Fund (that makes traditional equity venture capital investments in blockchain and web3 companies).
