We’re thrilled to announce that Jeremy Lim has been promoted to Principal at GFR Fund, bringing a wealth of experience and leadership to our team!
Jeremy joined the team in 2019 as part of GFR’s investment team, overseeing gaming and esports investments. Interested in Web3 operations, Jeremy later served as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of a digital collectibles marketplace and started a decentralized global country club, MonkeDAO. The global community is now home to over 3,000 verified members globally, with 20 different local chapters across the world. Jeremy also launched an investment syndicate that collectively invests across Web3 and has backed teams like Mysten Labs, the developer of the SUI Layer 1 blockchain.
With a strong belief in the value of leveraging on community-building as well as the experience of doing so from 0 to 1, Jeremy has a natural alignment with GFR Fund’s investment thesis of backing teams with an interest in building digitally native communities from its early stages. Aside from that, Jeremy is also actively supporting GFR’s effort to venture into emerging markets.
“Since officially joining GFR Fund, Jeremy has exceeded initial expectations and truly deserves this promotion,” said Yasushi Komori, General Partner at GFR Fund. “He communicates closely with founders and stakeholders and consistently handles cases smoothly and quickly as a self-starter.”
“We've seen Jeremy evolving from a student intern to a Web3 founder to an investor. And we've truly enjoyed working with him for the last four to five years,” said Teppei Tsutsui, General Partner at GFR Fund. “He is a hustler, very energetic but down to earth, and always thinking of how he can contribute to the GFR team and our founders. His dedication and commitment are second to none, and he well deserves the promotion. Look forward to seeing the next version of Jeremy with broader roles and responsibilities!”
Jeremy’s promotion to Principal marks an exciting new chapter for GFR Fund as we continue to expand our investments in gaming, Generative AI, creator economy, media & brands, and consumer tech. His deep expertise in startup operations and community-building will further strengthen our ability to support founders shaping the future of entertainment and consumer experiences. Please join us in congratulating Jeremy on this well-deserved promotion!
