Positive Impact Investing (2020-2030)

I am on a 10-year mission to promote impact investing into tech startups in South-East Asia. I believe firmly that impact dollars which demand not just financial gains but impact gains, will shift entrepreneurs to develop technologies that benefit society and the environment.

I now seek impact investors who believe in this vision to create a better South-East Asia and invest into my VC fund.

Listen to my weekly podcast on Impact Tech Investing with exclusive 1-to-1 interviews.

Visit TRIVE, my work on Venture Capital in the Impact Space.
