Jarsy Secures $5 Million Pre-Seed Funding Led By Breyer Capital

Jarsy, a digital investment platform, has successfully completed a $5 million pre-seed funding round, marking its emergence from stealth mode. The round was led by Breyer Capital, with additional participation from Karman Ventures and several high-profile angel investors. Notable investors include Evan Cheng, CEO of Mysten Labs, Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage, Richard Liu, CEO of Huma Finance, and C-Suite executives from prominent companies such as Niantic, EigenLayer, Moonpay, Babylon Labs, Zettablock, and Confluent.

The platform aims to democratize access to high-growth private companies by allowing a broader audience to invest in tokenized equity with as little as $10. Unlike traditional investment platforms, Jarsy offers a seamless experience that removes technical barriers for crypto beginners while providing full blockchain transparency for advanced users. The platform uses a 1:1 asset-backed token model, ensuring that for every token minted, there is a real share backed in custody. These tokenized shares are backed by real equity held in the underlying company, with full transparency into reserve documentation and share ownership.

Jarsy's user experience is designed to be intuitive and accessible. Users can log in using their email, pay in USDC or USD, and receive tokens without needing wallets, seed phrases, or knowledge of gas fees. The platform handles the diligence, paperwork, and even wallet creation, ensuring a trustworthy investment process.

Jarsy was founded by a team of experienced tech operators from Uber, Square, and Facebook. CEO Han Qin has a notable career that includes co-launching Uber China, scaling it to eight million users in two years, working on Graph Search with Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, and leading BNPL growth at Afterpay until its $30 billion acquisition by Block. His journey, shaped by a belief that financial systems should work for people, led to the creation of Jarsy. Joining forces with Yiying Hu, COO, an Uber and Square alum and serial Web3 entrepreneur, and Chunyang Shen, CTO, lead engineer at Uber and Afterpay and Silicon Valley VC scout, Jarsy was created as a new way to access pre-IPO companies.

“Private equity investing has been a closed club for far too long,” said Han Qin, Co-founder and CEO of Jarsy. “We started Jarsy to rewrite the playbook – bringing accessibility, transparency, and blockchain technology to a space that's been gatekept by institutions and ultra-high net worth individuals. We built Jarsy for a new generation of everyday investors – whether crypto-natives or completely new to blockchain – to democratize access to pre-IPO investments.”

Ted Breyer, Partner at Breyer Capital, commented, “Jarsy is solving a real market gap with strong validation and one clear mission: to make the next generation of tech giants investable for everyone. Han and his team have built products that serve billions. They bring a rare ability to scale with a deep respect for the end user.”

The $5 million in funding will be used to accelerate product development, expand regulatory compliance initiatives, and grow the user experience team to ensure global accessibility. Jarsy is also investing in partnerships with top-tier legal and financial institutions, including Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, to build a robust compliance roadmap from day one. A major portion of the capital will support onboarding new private equity opportunities and educating next-gen investors through creator-led content and influencer partnerships focused on financial literacy and transparency.
