Business Development & Partnerships Lead

Business development and partnerships leader with 4+ years building go-to-market and ecosystem growth for Web3, B2B SaaS, and AI-forward products. I build BD and partnership motions from zero: defining ICP, running outbound, closing deals, and turning partner relationships into revenue and ecosystem growth. 

Recent work: supported a $9M raise and led partnerships across 10+ L1/L2 chains (Base, Arbitrum, Sei, Mantle, Sonic) at Rivalz; co-founded Tonso, a Telegram-native distribution platform scaled to 230,000+ users with 25x average client mindshare growth; managed 50+ partner accounts at DeQuest (+35% MAU). 

I'm looking for a mid-to-senior Business Development, Partnerships, GTM, or Ecosystem role, fully remote or based in Seoul or Tokyo. Strongest in crypto/Web3, B2B SaaS, and fintech.
