About

I'm a Managing Partner @500global. Our platform has backed ~3,000+ startups in 80 countries. 40+ companies > $1 Billion dollars in market capitalization grew from it. We've grown a multi-stage investment practice from the momentum we've built over the decade. Along the way, we've backed > 200 AI startups, and investing in one new AI company every 1-2 weeks. How did I get here? In my childhood : I sketched. In my teens : I built websites. In my 20s : I founded 2 companies. One became my country’s largest online news company and the other in eCommerce. One went public before it got acquired, and the other was acquired by Groupon. In my 30s : I invested in people and ideas. 6 of them became ‘unicorns’ worth > $1B. Now... To think my dad grew up in a rubber plantation and his 10 siblings toiled so he could get a white collar job and buy me a computer. And now 5.5 billion people have the same. Wait till all of them use AI to create... There's an entire map of opportunity ( see http://500.co/risereport ). There are dividends from entrepreneurialism to be captured. Some call it investing, I call it putting optimism to work! Find me on IG @khaileeng as well. Let's connect!
