In February 2025, Sekuya marks its three-year anniversary. Over this time, the company has evolved from a small startup into a leading player in the Web3 gaming and entertainment industry in Southeast Asia. Sekuya's achievements range from metaverse projects to gaming innovations, and further into entertainment.
2022: Entrance into Web3 Gaming Scene
In February 2022, Sekuya emerged as a Web3 community initiative project originally named SKUY. Founders Joshua Budiman, Lilis Huri, Nickyta Eleonora, and M. Luthfan aimed to revolutionize the gaming and entertainment industry by transforming the project from a virtual multiverse to an anime gaming multiverse. With the support of GGWP CLAN, the company reached 30 community networks and started making its mark.
2023: Shift to Gaming and Overcoming Hurdles
The year 2023 brought challenges for Sekuya. Despite being turned down by over 200 venture capital firms, the company continued to grow and graduated #1 in the ICP Incubation program, gaining critical exposure. Sekuya was also part of the G20 Presidential Summit for Indonesia Metaverse, expanding its industry influence. The addition of Yohanes Hanifa as a co-founder further strengthened the team, spurring innovation.
2024: Growth and Industry Recognition
In 2024, Sekuya's efforts were rewarded with significant achievements, including a $2.2 million Web3 round led by Singularity DAO, launching its first IP Showcase at IGF24 with key brand collaborations, and being acknowledged by Coinvestasi as Indonesia’s Most Impactful Figure 2024 (Honorable Mention). The company's pre-launch revenue reached $550k, and Sekuya Labs and Sekuya Saga pre-alpha testing were successfully initiated. The migration of SKUY and SKUYX to SKYA was a significant milestone reflecting the company's growth and transformation.
From 2022 to 2025, Sekuya has grown from a small community initiative into an influential player in Web3 gaming, entertainment, and racing. This is a story about how passion, dedication, and the spirit of collaboration can achieve great heights. Sekuya aims to be the heartbeat of inspiration and support for dreamers and creators worldwide.
