Symbol Capital was officially established in 2020 -the first year of apply theory to large-scale practice in blockchain , the first year of rapid development of DeFi and the beginning of the new era.

It is two main meanings about “symbol” in the Oxford Dictionary , that represents a more general quality or situation ,and that has a fixed meaning, especially in science, mathematics and music. It also includes signs, codes, marks, etc. We wish to enlarge upon a point that can be translated as a symbol of a certain civilization.

Furthermore, the more explicit meaning of “symbol” also includes the well-known numbers, words and all kinds of codes in the digital age (bitcoin is also a symbol), It even represents a kind of civilization — Digital civilization and scientific and technological civilization.

They can be classified as “symbol”. Therefore, we regard it as a magic word. It is all-embracing but concise enough. It is also the starting point of “First Principle Thinking” and the most basic unit of all formula principles.

There is an old saying in Tao te Ching, which is called “One is the child of the divine law. After one comes two, after two comes three, and after three come all things. “ Perhaps many big dreams originates from a small start. We always keep reverence and determination.

Symbol Capital is an empowering blockchain industry fund. We have been deeply involved in the blockchain industry for many years, and set up our own industry research institute, professional content operation team, as well as the whole industry media matrix, serving a lot of majority of leading institutions and project parties in this field.

Now, witnessed the rise of Internet as well as mobile Internet, we convince that blockchain technology will bring about the next great change of the world. We become a trendsetter of the blockchain wave, who promote the implementation of projects, empower projects to succeed and share the results at last, not only an observer.

Symbol Capital is committed to research and invest in excellent teams and top projects which are focusing on blockchain infrastructure, blockchain industry application landing, and provides blockchain innovative solutions and complete solutions.

We integrate research, investment and project empowerment, aiming to become a real long-term investment institution for the development of blockchain industry.

In 2020, Mr. Zhang Lei, the founder of Hillhouse Capital, used a book “Value” to explain how he gradually brought Hillhouse Capital to a world-famous investment institution in the past 15 years. And then the word “long-termism” got popular.

Although the blockchain and crypto industry have been developing for 10 years, there are few long-termism institutions. We do not want to go fast, but we want to go steadily. “On the road of long-termism, walk with the man from a strategic position.”.

The team of Symbol Capital is composed of investors with nearly 10 years of experience in traditional investment institutions, technical experts and senior research experts who have worked in the this field for many years, professional operation experts with extensive experience in the blockchain industry, and other diversified talent teams.

We are a group of elite teams who love the blockchain and crypto industry and are keen on the development of blockchain. The professionalism inherited from traditional finance enables us to have a deeper understanding and farsighted of the development of blockchain.

Before the formal operation of Symbol Capital, we have researched, invested and participated in more than 20 head projects. We have rich experience in investment research, post investment management, post investment empowerment, operation support, exit management, market value management, etc.

We firmly believe and recognize the value of “professional”, and take it as a starting point, like “symbol”, starting from the origin.

Although the global COVID-19 is still grim, the development of the world won't stop, and on the contrary the progress of technology will accelerate. In the beginning of a new era (2020s), the future will still be like the box of chocolate which you never know what you're gonna get in Forrest Gump (you never know what the next one will taste).

Symbol Capital is standing at the beginning of the next 20 years of the era, just like Hillhouse Capital established in 2003. We are full of expectations for the future and firmly move forward towards the future.

Thanks to this best industry and era, Symbol Capital will not forget its original intention, keep in mind the original intention of "symbol" and forge ahead.

The future has come,and civilization has not come. We will meet in the future!
