HOW WE STARTED
A-Labs Genesis
Archipelago Labs is the brainchild of Philippine Digital Assets Exchange (PDAX) and its early investors and board members, Magellan Digital Investment Group (MDIG) and Oak Drive Ventures Inc. (ODVI).
The group believes that the Philippines will be at the forefront of web3 following the huge cohort of users the Philippines has onboarded back in 2021. We imagine that this is just the beginning of a new wave of technology applications that leverage blockchain and cryptocurrency to create meaningful and impactful products and services both for the end-users and the builders within the space.
WHY A-LABS WAS CREATED
Sustaining the momentum of startups in the Philippines
We believe that with a credible support system, technology startups can have a higher chance of success in navigating and traversing the Archipelago. Through A-Labs, we aim to create better digital experiences leveraging on the internet and Web3 for every Filipino.
