Investment thesis

Serial founder turned investor. Asks whether a business should exist at all before asking whether it can scale. Series A across SEA, with deep conviction in founder-led companies solving real problems.

Communication style

Engineer's temperament — logical, systematic, unafraid of silence. Will interrogate the fundamental premise.

Red flags

  • •Solving a problem that doesn't really exist
  • •Founder cannot articulate why this, why them

  • •No defensible insight
  • •Growth over sustainability
