Bios

Co-founded SmallWorld, a venture building and startup space, in 2011. In 2017, we started KOOMPI, an open-source computer company, and launched VitaminAir, a pilot natural living community and reforestation project. In 2019, our team developed Selendra, a Layer 1 blockchain network for real-world asset tokenization and loyalty programs.

Since 2020, we've built a team of developers creating web3 and enterprise software, now collaborating with local and global companies. We've helped over ~50 startups and installed computer labs in 63 schools across Cambodia.

We developed and maintain a sports ticketing, reverse marketplace e-commerce SaaS, and an integrated payment environment for SMEs. These projects work together to provide services to businesses, developers, and users.

I believe in building sustainable businesses that solve real problems, growing ecosystems rather than just companies, and finding Cambodia's unique strengths instead of copying Silicon Valley.
