Arches, a knowledge-sharing platform that just secured an additional $3 million (totaling $5 million) in funding to launch our revolutionary AI-powered “Expert Knowledge Bank.” To democratize expertise on Asia’s markets and beyond, by creating a searchable database of expert interviews (Expert Knowledge Bank), the funding will be used to develop the Expert Knowledge Bank and expand the Arches network globally.
We’re the first mover in Asia to offer this service, similar to Tegus and AlphaSense in the EU and US. Our platform empowers investment and consulting firms – from large-cap PE like Bain Capital to hedge funds, Big4, and MBB – with instant access to a vast network of vetted Asian experts. These experts have been interviewed specifically to provide market insights, offering unparalleled accuracy and reliability.
We’ve evolved beyond a traditional expert network. Arches is now an AI-powered knowledge bank where investors can monitor investments, source deals, and conduct due diligence. This directly addresses the pain points of inconsistent information and limited access to specialized expertise.
Our Expert Knowledge Bank leverages AI to transform expert interviews into a searchable, actionable database.

We’re excited to be part of their journey as they scale globally.”
The Future of Expertise
With this latest funding round, Arches is poised to unlock a new era of knowledge sharing, where expertise is not a privilege but a powerful resource accessible to all.
