Joseph Zapanta
For two decades, Joseph worked with social enterprises and led livelihood development programs in impoverished areas in the Philippines. Combining his love for technology, he sought to understand ways to connect farmers and producers directly to customers, which led him to the world of e-commerce and online selling.

Wanting to gain practical knowledge in e-commerce, he co-founded Argon 40 Technologies, Inc. with his partner based in Hong Kong. They built their website and first Amazon Store in the USA in 2016. This was the start of the long and winding journey of learning and experimentation.

To this date, Argon 40 has sold thousands of items online. They have designed, developed, and manufactured several products of their own that are sold purely online via various online channels. His goal is to eventually go back to its roots and develop a company that would have a positive social impact both locally and internationally.
