About us

Building the most iconic web3 projects since 2017

Zestif is your go-to partner for all things web3. We’ve been investing and building in the web3 space since 2017, and we’re not stopping anytime soon.

Our mission

Our journey began in 2017, when web3 was just a buzzword. We advised several web3 projects in the Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Today, we’re at the forefront of web3 application and community development for global web3 initiatives. Our core mission revolves around collaborating with visionary web3 founders to create groundbreaking products that make web3 accessible to everyone.

“Back in 2017, we came into web3 for the tech and gains. But we stuck around for the people, the culture of collaboration, and the relentless drive for innovation. Since then, we’ve been investing and building alongside epic web3 founders. To us, web3 isn’t just about the tech – it’s a collective effort to shape the future of the internet, and we’re all in.”

Our journey from buzz to blockbuster

2017

Our journey began in the Netherlands, where we started exploring, evaluating, and experimenting with web3. We advised several web3 projects in the Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, marking our first steps into the web3 space.

2018

We participated in the Dutch Blockchain Hackathon 2018, organized by the Dutch government. Our successful development of a blockchain-based solution for managing and sharing health records marked a significant milestone in our journey. This led to our involvement in advising and designing blockchain-based data management solutions for healthcare services in Netherlands.

2019 - 2021

During the rapid development of web3 technology landscape, we successfully built web3 solutions for numerous public-private organizations, as well as web3-native startups from all around the world. Concurrently, we established relationships with several tech partners in Russia, Ukraine, and Vietnam.

2022

Hanoio LLC (Zestif Vietnam) was established in Hanoi with a mission to bring the value we created in the Western market to the Eastern world. As we surveyed, researched, analyzed, and evaluated the Vietnamese market, we also built our team and established strategic partnerships in Vietnam.

2023

Committed to establishing a foothold in the Eastern region by shaping the future of Vietnam's digital economy, we're honored to advise and consult for the National Agency for Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Development (NATEC), under the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of Vietnam. As the tech ambassador between Vietnam and the Netherlands, we decided to become a member of the Dutch Business Association Vietnam (DBAV).

Global network of web3 partners

On our journey, we’ve had the honor of working with some of the biggest brains in the web3 space worldwide. As a result, we’ve formed a strategic partner network across the globe to build the decentralized web together.

Our team is a combination of experienced web3 experts in both developed as well as emerging markets.
