Anything else to note? Hi, I'm Ingi Kim. I’m the Founder & CEO of a company called the Code States. I’ve been running the Code States for over 6 years, from 1 person to 200 people.

It’s a tech education platform.

For example, we run the biggest coding bootcamp in Korea. We also have popular courses in Web3/Blockchain, AI, product management, growth marketing, and so on. We also provide the ISA/LNPL solution for other educational providers to adopt the model.

We’re growing very rapidly. Last year we posted $10M in revenue. This year we expect $30M. So it’s a really exciting time for us, and I’m very grateful. Right now, we have a close-knit community of over 3,000 developers.

We launched the States DAO, which is a decentralized human capital that invests in human potential through education, grants, and investment DAO.

We are developing the learn-to-earn platform and Grants aggregator in web3. We have partnerships with many web3/terra ecosystem including Terra and NEAR. So people can learn web3 and earn $UST, $LUNA, $NEAR, and more.

We aim to become the place for people to learn about and find grant opportunities in web3/terra and for web3/terra projects to find promising new talent.
