Hi! I am Humility Wong, born and educated in Hong Kong, China. I am very excited to be an integral part of the Finnovant team and love to try new things and make a difference in the world. I have a restless heart, and back in the day, during my time at University, I worked in a theme park as a part-time dish washer. I found while working at the theme park that all the washers were too tired working in the fixed modes of their positions and the work efficiency was low. Soon I imagined a new way of washing the dishes, and the workload related to this effort was reduced over 33%. The theme park asked me to stay on after my graduation to be a manager and to continue the improvements, although my desire was to explore and chase my dreams.

Hello! I am Megan Liu, born in mainland China, educated in England, and have a hearty appetite for adventure. School aspirations took me all the way to England, where I graduated from Durham University and returned to China with a focus on Internet Finance.
While working in Finance I felt a desire to manage a group of smart and idealistic people working for a big vision and built up a team of 100 with this in mind. During 2017, by the grace of God, I found an opportunity to work in the innovative Blockchain space. Within a short time I was enlightened by the openness and reliability of the Blockchain, providing a network where everyone can contribute without permission, while every bit of contribution is immutable.

Tyler has been involved in the crypto space since he was first told about Bitcoin in 2014, but has truly immersed himself in all the aspects of it within the past 5 years. He explored different tokens and products before finding his place in the world of Non-Fungible Tokens. Infatuated with the endless possibilities of real-life use cases and the importance of verified ownership of assets, he aimed to learn as much as he could.
In 2021, he began working with DogeRun, a Doge NFT racing game that has now evolved into the Ethos Metaverse. A hyper-realistic digital space world mirroring our own galaxy. Creating a world for builders to create and for creatives to thrive.
Throughout Tyler’s time in the NFT space, he learned how valuable security is. With the rise of different phishing scams, Discord hacks, and social engineering, he knew there had to be a better process through the blockchain to verify who you were interacting with, and being at the forefront of that movement has become very important to him.
