Arches,
a leading expert knowledge-sharing platform, has secured $3 million in a
funding round led by KUSABI, with participation from Visional Inc., SMBC
Venture Capital, and angel investors from leading investment firms. This brings
the company’s total funding to $5 million.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Arches has rapidly established itself as a trusted bridge between global
decision-makers and the nuanced expertise required to navigate Asia’s dynamic
markets. The company’s flagship “Expert Matching” service has already
connected over 300 clients in 20+ countries with a vast network of over 100,000
vetted experts. But Arches isn’t stopping there.
The Expert Knowledge Bank: A Paradigm Shift
This new funding round will supercharge the development of the “Expert Knowledge Bank,” a revolutionary platform that
transforms expert interviews into a searchable database of actionable insights.
Clients gain discounted access to experts in exchange for contributing to this
growing knowledge repository, democratizing access to specialized information
that was once the exclusive domain of a select few.
“The Expert Knowledge Bank is more than a database; it’s the future of
knowledge sharing,” said Hiroki Kato, CEO and Co-founder of Arches.
“We’re building a platform where anyone, anywhere, can tap into the
collective wisdom of Asia’s brightest minds.”
A Vision for Global Expansion
Arches’ vision extends beyond Asia. The company plans to expand its expert
network to include Europe and the United States, solidifying its position as a
truly global knowledge-sharing platform. Additionally, Arches will invest in
new marketing strategies to reach a broader audience, including corporations
and financial institutions seeking a competitive edge in an increasingly
complex world.
Investor Confidence
Investors are enthusiastic about Arches’ potential to disrupt and redefine
the knowledge-sharing landscape. Yuki Watanabe, Representative Partner at
KUSABI, noted, “Arches is not just addressing a market need; they’re
creating a new category. 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. The company’s one-stop platform, offering expert interviews,
research, consulting, and talent placement, is set to become the go-to
destination for organizations seeking to harness the power of knowledge to
drive growth and innovation.
