Entrepreneur · Private investor

Backing good operators. Staying curious about markets.

After building and exiting two companies, I invest my own capital, support selected founders and compare notes with independent thinkers.

Co-founded a regulated B2B FX and cross-border payments platform serving thousands of businesses across Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong before its acquisition by M-DAQ.

Founding partner of one of Indonesia's leading digital-asset exchanges, helping develop the country's early regulated crypto ecosystem and its path to a strategic outcome with Binance.

Acquisition Profile

02 · For founders

Good operators matter more than categories.

I'm open to backing strong operators in almost any field. I care more about the person, business quality, incentives and potential upside than whether a company fits a fashionable sector thesis.

Tell me what you're building
  1. 01

    Strong operators

    Resourceful, honest people who learn quickly and keep moving.

  2. 02

    Real value

    A clear customer problem and an understandable path to durable economics.

  3. 03

    Aligned incentives

    Founders, teams and capital pulling in the same direction.

  4. 04

    Room to compound

    A business that can become meaningfully larger without losing its quality.

03 · How I work

Direct, candid and focused on the outcome.

I'm fast-moving and solutions-oriented. I work best with people who communicate clearly, take ownership and are comfortable challenging my thinking.

01 Clarity over ceremony +

Start with the point. Add context where it changes the decision.

02 Bring a next step +

Problems are worth raising—ideally with a recommendation.

03 Candour is welcome +

I value honest feedback and constructive disagreement.

04 Own the outcome +

Initiative, urgency and follow-through matter greatly to me.

I naturally simplify things and don't always catch every detail. Good collaborators flag nuance I may have missed and keep reliable records. I don't expect perfection—surface mistakes early, learn quickly and keep moving.

04 · Markets & ideas

Markets are a personal pursuit.

I invest and trade my own capital with a cross-asset, macro lens. I look at how economic conditions, liquidity and policy interact with trend, momentum, positioning and price before deciding whether—and how—to act.

I'm less interested in predicting every turn than recognising when signals across markets begin to align. I don't manage outside money or have anything to sell.

Backdrop first

Macro regime

Growth, inflation, liquidity and policy establish the backdrop.

If you enjoy thoughtful, low-ego conversations about markets, businesses or unusual ideas, coffee sounds good.
