Overview
Work Experience
Investor
2022 - Current
Antler is a global early-stage VC that backs founders from day zero to greatness by providing unique access to co-founder matching, business validation, and early-stage funding. Besides being the earliest backer for startups, we are also a long-term capital partner that provides expansion opportunities and scale-up funding to breakout companies from Series A onwards. We have invested in more than 1,400 startups globally across a wide range of industries and technologies, with the goal of backing more than 6,000 by 2030. I run our deals pipeline end to end for our Singapore office and the larger Southeast Asia fund, from outbound sourcing to inbound processing, along with conducting due diligence on early stage investments and cultivating founder experience during our flagship residencies. Our commitment to founders goes beyond capital; we believe that a founder's vision can only take flight with the right support and community. As part of my role, I not only work closely with our portfolio companies to refine their product and commercial GTM, but also internally with regional and global offices to optimise operational workflows, along with building partnerships and fundraising networks amongst the wider ecosystem.
