My entrepreneurial journey started when I was 22, with the founding of Caprikon Education. It was a modest beginning, but today, we've been able to reach over 20,000 students across 600 schools in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, and Indonesia. I also helped establish the International Coding Education Foundation to promote digital literacy among the youth. Our charity organized one of the largest coding competitions in the region, involving over 5,000 students and yielding over 800,000 lines of code. These experiences in entrepreneurship have taught me the value of resilience, and I'm grateful for the lessons learned along the way.
Alongside my entrepreneurial pursuits, I've had the privilege of serving as Chief of Staff at WATI, a rapidly growing Series B SaaS company. Working with a dedicated team and supported by renowned investors like Sequoia, Tiger Global, DST, and Shopify. Today, our company supports over 6,000 customers from more than 80 countries. This professional journey has provided me with an understanding of what it takes to scale a business and the importance of building strong teams and systems.
In addition to these roles, I've had the opportunity to contribute to the community as a speaker and mentor. I've been invited to speak at a variety of events, from large international summits to more intimate local school talks. I've also had the honor of serving as a judge for startup competitions, providing guidance to the next generation of entrepreneurs. These experiences have underscored the importance of sharing knowledge and giving back to society, and I'm thankful for these opportunities to engage and inspire.
As I continue on this journey, my goal remains the same: to make a positive impact in the fields of technology and education. There are still many challenges to tackle and opportunities to seize, and I look forward to the journey ahead!
