We announced our US$2M Series A funding, led by Iterative with participation from 500 Global and PERSOL Venture Partners and prominent angel investors such as Quek Siu Rui (CEO and Co-Founder of Carousell). We were led by BTFV in the Pre-Series A round back in 2019.
We hosted four speakers in our Ho Chi Minh office to share a mix of technical and non-technical software engineering topics. Meanwhile, we continue to be influential as a thought leader in tech career data with co-founder Ethan’s feature on China Global Television Network.
