Venture Capitalist in Singapore
I am a venture capitalist specialising in early-stage B2B technology startups operating within the United States and the United Kingdom. I focus on identifying disruptive technologies that can forge new markets. My journey began as a software engineer in Singapore's pioneering internet startup. This role gave me a deep understanding of emerging technologies and their transformative implications. My extensive involvement in the startup ecosystem has honed my capacity for perceiving the nuances of these technologies.
This acumen is palpable in my track record of successful exits, where my contributions as an angel investor have played a pivotal role in companies like 3PAR, RightNow, Twilio, RedHat, and Cloudflare. My ability to foresee the trajectory of emerging trends has also extended to the cryptocurrency sphere, with early investments in BTC, ETH, and XLM.
As a venture capitalist, I channel my expertise into investments within Climate Tech, FinTech, MedTech, SpaceTech, and Enterprise Software domains. My proficiency in discerning technological landscapes is not solely a result of diligence but also a manifestation of my innate aptitude for grasping the essence of emerging innovations. Through this, I've realised the power of combining natural understanding with a dedicated effort to navigate the dynamic startup ecosystem successfully.
