Ken Yeung — CEO
Ever wondered how small businesses compete with giants? That's exactly what drives us at WATI. We're turning WhatsApp – an app billions use daily – into a business superpower. Today, we're helping 10,000+ businesses across 150+ countries connect with their customers in ways that feel natural and drive real results. Whether it's a corner store in Mumbai doubling their sales through Click-to-WhatsApp ads, or an enterprise in São Paulo automating customer support, we're making powerful communication tools accessible to everyone. BUT my journey till here wasn't straightforward….⤵ I spent years at Saxo Bank, building trading systems that processed 100,000+ trades daily across 37 exchanges. It taught me something crucial: the most powerful technology is the one people can actually use. This insight led me to build [Clare.AI](http://clare.ai/), creating AI solutions for Fortune 500 companies. But I noticed something – while big corporations had all the tools they needed, smaller businesses were being left behind. That's when WATI's vision began taking shape. And today we are here! BUT we're just getting started. With the support of Sequoia, Tiger Global, DST, and Shopify, we're building towards a future where every business, regardless of size, can engage with customers as easily as texting a friend. What's next for WATI? 📍Enhancing automation tools 📍Expanding our Click-to-WhatsApp capabilities 📍Growing WATI Academy to empower more entrepreneurs Because at the end of the day, it's not just about building technology – it's about enabling success stories.
