Before Sky Wee became one of Asia’s most prominent Web3 entrepreneurs managing tens of millions in capital and shaping early-stage blockchain ventures he was a gamer. A competitive one. A streamer with millions of fans. A digital native who knew how to capture attention in the high-speed world of esports.
Wee’s Facebook streaming generated 1.3 million followers. His TikTok content fuelled a following of 1.9 million, but But Wee didn’t stop there.
Rather than resting on creator fame, he evolved into something rare: a founder bridging culture and capital, memes and markets. Today, he’s the founder of Sky Ventures Labs. More than his titles, Wee bridges East and West in the global crypto Web3 economy.
Wee represents a new kind of entrepreneur — one shaped not in boardrooms, but on game battlefields such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Wee’s first platform wasn’t a pitch deck. It was a Twitch stream.
“I came from the gaming world. That’s where I learned how to build a community, how to tell stories, how to engage people,” Wee says. “But I didn’t just want to entertain. I wanted to empower myself.”
That mindset became the motivation for a major pivot. As Web3 gained momentum, so did Wee’s curiosity. He didn’t jump into the space to ride hype — he got close to the builders. He studied tokenomics. He listened to founders. He joined early Binance campaigns not as a promoter, but as a sponge.

“When people called me an influencer, I was already thinking like an investor,” Wee says. “I realized that the real impact wasn’t in promoting — it was in building and backing the right projects.”
This led to the founding of Sky Ventures Labs, an early-stage investment platform focused on Asia’s most promising Web3 startups. But Wee’s model was different. He didn’t just deploy capital — he deployed strategy, product feedback and go-to-market firepower. He built a network of more than 500 Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to support his portfolio and emphasized storytelling as much as seed funding.
“We wanted to give founders more than money,” he says. “We wanted to give them momentum.”
Under Wee’s leadership, Sky Ventures became a launchpad for breakout projects such as Bracket Labs (backed by Binance Labs), Balance (a16z-backed), XYO Network, and xProtocol (supported by Dragonfly).
Wee has also been an early investor in companies such as BITGPT Network, Matchain, Gamerboom, Bytenova, Bracket Labs and BluWhale. Collectively, across Sky Ventures, Elevate Ventures and ATF Capital, his teams have raised more than $50 million across more than 50 blockchain initiatives.
For Wee, it’s not just about ROI — it’s about alignment.
“I’ve always believed in giving power back to the people,” he says. “That’s why I moved from gaming to crypto. It’s about owning your assets, your identity, your data. That mission still guides every decision I make.”
As his profile has grown — over 4 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook, and formal titles such as Official Binance Influencer — Wee has also taken on a bigger role as a cultural ambassador. Based in Singapore, he sees Asia as a leader in the Web3 movement, rather than a follower.
“Europe is focused on compliance. Asia is focused on adoption. That tension creates opportunity — and risk. As a founder, you have to move between both worlds.”
Wee visited Paris recently to attend the city’s annual Blockchain Week and meet emerging European Web3 companies — including projects such as TCWNN, an AI and decentralization play built on Solana — but left the conference more convinced than ever that the future of Web3 will be decided in Asia.
For all the investor accolades — including a spot on the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 Blockchain Visionaries list and winner of the Top Crypto KOL Award at the Hong Kong Wiki Finance Expo 2024, Wee seems grounded in the principles that brought him here.
Nowhere is that clearer than his view on Bitcoin, which he sees as a mission more than a speculative asset.
“Bitcoin doesn’t need Wall Street,” he says. “But Wall Street needs Bitcoin.”
It’s not just a slogan. He points to 2024 data showing that while institutions accumulated 831,000 BTC, individuals offloaded 525,000. It’s a troubling trend, he says, that could shift Bitcoin from a grassroots revolution to another tool of elite finance.
“The real risk isn’t institutions buying. It’s retail opting out,” he says. “We’re handing the steering wheel over, bit by bit.”
As a founder and educator, Wee believes it’s his job to reverse the trend — to bring people back to self-custody, sovereignty, and first principles.
“Founding is about responsibility,” he says. “You’re not just building a company. You’re building a standard.”
Wee isn’t slowing down. He’s expanding Sky Ventures’ footprint, launching incubators, partnering with infrastructure teams, and growing his KOL marketing engine to help startups reach critical mass across Asia.
“I’ve been lucky to ride the waves early,” he says. “From gaming to crypto, from content to capital. Now I want to help others do the same. Whether it’s the next builder, the next creator, or the next visionary — they need support. And I want to be that support.”
That’s Sky Wee’s founder story: Not just a pivot from games to gains — but a mission to build power and put it back in the hands of the people.
