Arches didn’t start with global offices, large funding rounds, or hundreds of clients. It started with a simple belief: that better decisions come from real expertise, delivered with speed, care, and trust. What followed over the next six years was steady, intentional growth, built market by market and team by team, rather than overnight success.

Today, Arches is a global expert network with close to 250 employees worldwide and a growing presence in the Americas through our Bogotá hub. This is how we got here and why we’re excited about what comes next.

Laying The Foundations (2019 – 2020)

In the early days, Arches chose focus over flash. Instead of expanding everywhere at once, the team concentrated on building strong foundations in a few key markets.

In 2019, Arches established its first offices in Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam. With a small founding team and a $40K seed round, the priority was learning how to deliver consistently, build trust with clients, and shape internal processes from scratch.

By 2020, that discipline began to pay off. Arches raised $450K in funding, enabling the team to invest in delivery quality, early hires, and operational stability. Growth at this stage wasn’t about moving fast. It was about getting it right.

From Startup To Scale (2021)

2021 marked a clear inflection point in Arches’ growth journey. The company opened its China office in Shanghai, expanding its footprint into another major market, and raised a $1.6M Series A.

Headcount grew significantly, with teams now operating across four offices. More importantly, Arches proved it could collaborate across borders while maintaining speed and quality: a critical milestone for any global expert network.

This was the year Arches shifted from a promising startup to a scalable platform.

Expanding What We Offer (2023)

Growth at Arches has never always been just about geography. It is also about evolving how we serve clients and experts.

In 2023, Arches launched the Expert Knowledge Bank, expanding its ability to deliver insight quickly and reliably at scale. The business saw strong year-on-year sales growth, while the team continued to expand across five global offices.

The focus shifted from “Can we deliver?” to “How do we deliver better, faster, and more sustainably?”

Building For The Long Term (2024)

By 2024, Arches was being trusted to build for the long term.

The launch of Prime Talent Partner broadened Arches’ service offering, while a $3M Series B round supported deeper investment in people, leadership, and systems. Headcount grew rapidly as the company strengthened internal structures to support scale.

This phase marked a shift toward durability: building teams and processes designed to last, not just expand.

A Global Network Takes Shape (2025)

2025 has been Arches’ most ambitious year yet. With new offices opened in Seoul, Bogota and Hong Kong, Arches now operates across eight offices globally, with a team of around 250 employees.

Bogota plays a central role in what comes next. As Arches’ hub for the Americas, the Bogota office supports regional expansion and anchors the company’s broader vision toward a 2028 IPO.
To date, Arches has raised $6M from investors, including KUSABI, VISIONAL Corporation, SMBC Venture Capital, and Grove Advisors Ventures. These funds continue to fuel expert recruitment, service innovation, and true 24/7 delivery.

What The Numbers Don’t Show

Behind every office opened and every client added are people who joined early, took risks, built processes from scratch, and grew alongside the company.

What began in 2019 with a team of around 15 people has grown into a global organization of nearly 250 employees today.

Arches’ achievements aren’t just milestones alone. They are signals of what happens when execution meets trust.
