Arches Raises $3 Million to Democratize Expertise on Asia’s Markets & Beyond

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.
