    It is really nice to work with Pacific Meta to build up communities in Japan. Especially, they are supportive for builders in coding projects, and for foreign judges at competitions.

    Harrison Kim

    Developer Relations Advocate

    Japan is one of the hardest markets to enter due to its unique culture and language barriers. Pacific Meta is an essential contributor and collaborator in helping breaking down those barriers and creating a stronger blockchain presence in Japan. I am grateful we are working with Pacific Meta in raising awareness for Sui blockchain in Japan and engaging with the Japanese community. Domo arigato gozaimasu!

  • Pudgy Penguins

    Luca Netz

    Chief Executive Officer

    Pacific Meta seemed like an amazing partner to have in the land of big IPs that is Japan. I’m confident their support to expand in the Japanese and East Asian market will be a big help to the growth of Pudgy Penguins and Abstract, which is why I have decided to invest in them.

  • LUXON

    Alan Huh

    CEO

    We've been partnered with Pacific Meta, and we're confident that Pacific Meta consistently delivers results that exceed our expectations. As we service web3 games with Japanese anime-style characters, our goal has always been to expand our marketing reach to Japan, but the 'how' remained a mystery. Thankfully, with Pacific Meta, we've turned that aspiration into a reality. Our community has experienced impressive growth, all thanks to the impactful campaigns with Pacific Meta. What's even more exciting is their outreach to Japanese web3 game enthusiasts, bringing them into our project fold. Pacific Meta doesn't just stop there – they go above and beyond to help us meet our needs, including connecting us with influential Japanese KOLs. For anyone in search of partners with exceptional professionalism in the local market, particularly in the Blockchain industry, we can confidently guarantee that Pacific Meta is the one.

  • SHRAPNEL

    Tyler (Saigo) Barterls

    Director of Business Development at Neon Machine Inc.

    As a Marketing Director from North America, it's difficult to approach the Asian markets, especially China. It takes a ton of time and local knowledge. It's been helpful to have a partner I trust to stand up community, field incoming opportunities and help make heads or tails of them as we grow.

  • Cross The Ages

    Sami Chlagou

    CEO

    As the CEO of a gaming company in Europe, we wanted to expand our business in the Japanese region, and Pacific Meta was the perfect partner for us. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of the Japanese gaming market and were able to provide valuable insights on how we could adapt our products and strategies to better suit the local market. They were able to help us navigate the complexities of doing business in Japan, and their professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. Overall, I cannot recommend Pacific Meta highly enough. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to delivering exceptional results truly sets them apart. If you are looking for a partner to help you expand your business in Japan, look no further than Pacific Meta.

  • Head of Partnerships, Korea/APAC

    Christie Lee

    The IVS2024 side event, supported by Pacific Meta, was fantastic. The Matsuri-themed Experience Zone highlighted Aptos projects, and the Networking Zone facilitated valuable connections over Kyoto cuisine. Pacific Meta's organization and innovative approach made the event memorable for Aptos, our partners such as Supervillain Labs, Kana Labs, Merkle Trade, NODIT, and the attendees

  • FSL

    Mable Jiang

    Chief Revenue Officer

    Japan is a market with huge potential for decentralized technology and Web3. We deeply recognize the instrumental role that Pacific Meta has played in helping us foster strategic partnerships between FSL and major Japanese companies. I have worked with Pacific Meta on multiple occasions and have been consistently impressed by their professionalism and their ability to deliver results. I’m excited to support their continued growth as they work toward becoming one of the most important Web3 companies in Japan.

  • Blockchain Game Alliance

    Sébastien Borget

    President of the BGA

    Pacific Meta is an active member and contributor to the Blockchain Game Alliance. They have helped us localize several key publications, including the 2023 BGA Members Industry Survey Report in Japanese. We are proud to have them as official BGA Ambassadors in Japan, working alongside us to strengthen our local presence and expand the mission of the BGA across the Japanese blockchain gaming industry. Beyond their contributions to the BGA, Pacific Meta’s co-founders bring a unique edge through their entrepreneurial and business angel experience in the Japanese tech startup ecosystem. We share a common belief that Web3 adoption in Japan requires both education and strong use cases, whether it's helping local Web2 companies enter the space or supporting global Web3 players to better reach Japanese audiences. I’m pleased to support them as an investor, and to have The Sandbox partner with them on this journey.
