Zoe
CMO of Summoners Arena
Their guidance and assistance have been vital in shaping Summoners Arena today and propelling us forward. Since the beginning, despite his busy schedule, Thanh has always made time to answer all of our questions and provide valuable insights. He is more than a mentor but a role model for his kindness, selflessness, and dedication.

The invaluable support extended by Arche Fund has been instrumental for us. Unlike many investors, they have truly partnered with our project team, standing by us through market fluctuations. Navigating the complexities of Web3 development is challenging, and Arche Fund has served as an exceptional mentor, guiding us through market opportunities, product strategies, community feedback, and beyond.
Kit
Founder of GuildFi
Not only does the team have invaluable experience which helped nurture our growth, but also have an incredible network, in both traditional companies within Vietnam and the web3 space as a whole, which they helped us leverage to strengthen the GuildFi platform.
