Our Story

Borys and Phong met at boarding school in Boca Raton, Florida. Besides being best friends, Borys and Phong have since founded, joined, and advised multiple startups together - experiencing both success and failure along the way. Combined, they have helped startups and web3 projects raise 7-figure rounds, sell out at mint, and win international awards.

As startup founders, Borys and Phong understand the playbook for product development at an early-stage to reach product market fit. They collaborate with leaders, visionaries, and entrepreneurs with a product owner mindset to create impactful companies.
