Hona used this pitch deck to raise its pre-seed round from Tim Draper’s fund

ABOUT

Hona was set up in Singapore in September 2020 by George Siosi Samuels. It is a social accountability platform that leverages behavioral economics and blockchain technology.

With remote working growing due to Covid-19, many workers struggle with procrastination and online privacy. Hona aims to address these issues by helping them honor commitments and achieve goals.

In August, the company participated in Tim Draper’s pitching competition and secured its first investment from Draper University Ventures using this pitch deck.

Prior to Hona, Samuels launched his first company Faia, a community consultancy for ventures that specialize in blockchain technology.
