On WDKY, we're serious about startup success but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We bring you the people that have made it all happen and ask them to tell us about the many ways they could have failed – and often DID fail. 

We also make beer recommendations ;-)

Founded an enterprise tech co, found your first few customers and looking to accelerate?
We might be the right fit: 👇


Running a startup is no cakewalk.

→ Obscenely high failure rates
→ Great products don’t automatically = success
→ Super steep learning curve
→ Heavy commitment of time, headspace, and resources

Yet, here we are. You’re running your own startup now.
Quietly excited, but also anxious and unsure.
Concerns like limited runway, hiring, expansion, legalese flood your waking thoughts.

That's why I co-founded Tin Men Capital.

To support and accelerate the ambitions of brilliant B2B SaaS founders in South-East Asia at Series A and beyond. Those that have made great sacrifices to bring their best to the world – especially those focused on legacy industries that are now digitising.

Our approach to venture investing differs slightly from most firms:

→ We believe B2B Startups are a team sport. Founders, advisors and investors must all bring something to the table
→ We only invest in a handful of companies each year. We care deeply about each company we back
→ >80% of time spent advising and opening doors for founders
→ We are complementary to other VCs who have a different approach and collaborate to share insights
→ Full-stack team of venture builders with board and corporate experience - that includes some of our LPs!

If that sounds like the type of investor and partner you’d like on your cap table, I’d love to hear from you.

➡️ My background:
I've sat on the boards of more than 25 venture-backed enterprise tech firms since 2008 in various countries (Singapore, India, Australia, and the US), and stages (from pre-revenue startups to 2000+ employee firms)

I've seen the worst side of the economy during the depths of the financial crisis at 28 which was when my career in venture began. My worldview and opinions are also fuelled by previous roles in consulting, research and large-cap investments.

I have lived in and experienced different cultures across Singapore, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, and the US over the years.

Fun fact: I'm also a competitive cyclist 🚴‍♀️ (Singapore gold medal winner at the 2018 Asian Cycling Championships)

But hey, it's not all about work. My love for the Australian outdoors hasn't faded. It's this balance of work and adventure that keeps me going, and I bring this energy to every project.
