2022
Gaming guild got acquhired by IndiGG. Led IndiGG and grew community from 0 to 1mn + gamers in Asia and an AUM of $5mn. Raised $6mn from the likes of Sequoia, Accel, Polygon, Brevan Howard, Lightspeed etc. At IndiGG we were trying to build an inverse facebook platform where gamers can be paid for their time and capital and we helped brands acquire relevant cohort of users.
2021
Quit ewards in 2021 beginning after I wanted to work on harder problemes in life. Stumbled down the web3 rabbit hole and started a gaming guild where we built a community of 50K active gamers in Phillipines and India and over ~$1mn in AUM. We would buy assets in web3 games and generate yield on them by renting them out to gamers who would play games using these assets (most of the games were gated i.e. you required assets to play the game). We helped over 10k gamers earn over $500k in 6 months.
2016 - 2021
Joined ewards founding team in 2016 where we built marketing automation tools for enterprises. Grew from 0 to 5000+ merchants over 4 years.
