Gm everyone! TON Society Intern here and I'm here today with another episode of “TON Society Intern Interview on TON Foundation Members”.
The member we will be introducing today will be Sarah, @sc_ton (TG), and she's in-charge of talent recruitment and BD here at TON Foundation!
- When did you join TON Foundation and what is your R&R?
I’ve joined around 3 months ago 🙂
I carry out recruitment and BD here at TF.
- Where did you work previously and in what R&R?
I was in Binance’s recruitment team. I was part of the team which scaled the legal team from 0-1.
When we first started hiring, the legal team was 5 people. When I left, the team was around 80 people.
I was also POC for Global Campus Recruitment, where we kickstarted the internship programme at Binance.
Other departments I recruited for included Finance Products (Futures, Social trading, Custody), BNB Chain, Binance Labs.
- Fun story: craziest candidate you’ve interviewed
The most crazy one would be a Taliban associated person. I honestly could not tell 😂 he was so smiley, calm and professional.
- How is it like working alongside with the individuals within TON Foundation?
Really great! We have a global team of over 15 nationalities. We have people from Asia, EU, America, even Latin America!
It is so international. This showcases the beauty of TON blockchain - true decentralisation and openness to differences.
- What are some of the challenges you've faced so far working at TON
Definitely picking up all this technical knowledge. Luckily we have members in the team who are proficient at this, very happy that we help one another 🙂
- What are the goals for yourself and TON as a whole?
Find a killer DApp. LFG 🙌

Hi Everyone, TON Society Intern here,
We will be starting a weekly series called “TON Society Intern Weekly Interview on TON Foundation Members” and the purpose of this is to let the TON community get to know more about the people behind TON and what their roles are!
The first individual we have for this week will be @cryptoKorba (TG) @cryptoKorba (TW), aka Alec Korba the brains behind The Open Challenge (TOC).
- When did you join the TON Foundation and what is your current R&R?
I joined the TON Foundation in December 2022. I am responsible for building The Open Challenge, an open grant program for everyone based on performance metrics. I’m also responsible for strategic infrastructure partnerships.
- Where did you work previously and in what R&R?
Prior to TON Foundation I was a Director at Binance.com working in roles both on Central BD as well as BNB Chain during my tenure. Before Binance.com I was the VP of Strategic Partnerships for MIT founded Big Data & Analytics companies HeadQuartered in Boston. I launched three Bitcoin exchanges in 2013 and have held various advisory roles in the BTC community over the last nine years.
- What about the TON opportunity excited you the most?
The Community. TON is a unique project because it is crowd funded instead of venture backed. It’s got a vibrant and collaborative community unlike any other modern blockchain I’ve seen with so much room for growth.
- What is The Open Challenge and how will you work with the community to reach consensus on the key metrics across each verticals?
The Open Challenge is exactly that: It’s open. Working in L1 grants for a long time I’ve seen the way the industry has evolved and the model being used is inefficient. Founders spend a lot of time pitching for grants and oftentimes don’t get the capital they expect. We’re creating a way to make our grant figures public so that anyone can sign up and hit a few key metrics to unlock some capital. Given the complexity and diversity of Dapps we wish to attract we have to build a number of different programs for each vertical. We also need to base these grants on metrics that we can track. I rely heavily on community feedback to design these programs and that starts with listening to founders about what KPI’s they use to measure themselves.
- What advice do you have for founders / teams building on TON as it relates to funding needs?
Funding should always be diversified. Any founder needs a mixture of strategic partnerships, equity investors, advisors, community, and a relationship with the Foundation managing the community they are operating in. I have seen founders move between communities to get access to a little more capital and that oftentimes slows them down. The most important thing is to have operational funding in place, invest in a community you believe in, communicate with that community, find the right advisors, and build a relationship with the Foundation.. Giving back to the community is important so accepting that certain things you build should be Open Source will strengthen your position.
