Core Team: The Leadership Power of Former TON Executives

The TON Ventures team is driven by a group of TON Foundation veterans and skilled developers. Ian W., ex-Director of TON Accelerator, and Inal K., former Gaming Lead at TON Foundation, spearhead this endeavor. 


Their prior partnership has yielded successful TON Web3 games such as Catizen and Gatto, along with the enduring exchange Tradoor, showcasing their leadership prowess and collaborative abilities.




Funding and support: more than just financial aid

At its core, TON Ventures is about more than just funding–it’s about building the future. Focusing on consumer applications, TON Ventures harnesses the might of Telegram’s social features and Telegram Mini Apps (TMAs). 


Their objective is to equip founders with the necessary tools and infrastructure to craft applications destined for widespread acceptance and enduring sustainability. Beyond mere financial support, the chosen projects will reap the benefits of the team’s vast experience, expansive global network, and practical assistance. 


To elevate these projects and propel them towards success, TON Ventures will capitalize on Telegram Ads and grant access to unique growth experiments within TON. 


This holistic approach ensures that each venture not only receives the financial backing it needs but also the strategic guidance and resources crucial for long-term viability and impact.
