Your first call
in Singapore
If you're a Chinese AI company thinking about going global — and Singapore is on your list — I can help you skip the trial-and-error phase. I have direct access to the resources, networks, and institutional knowledge that matter here.
Start a conversation →Landing Events
Curated 80–100 person events that introduce your company to Singapore's AI ecosystem — investors, government officials, founders, and press. Not generic networking; designed specifically for your company's positioning and the audience that matters for your next step.
Resource Matching
Direct introductions to EDB, IMDA, SuperAI, local investors, cloud providers (Google Cloud, BytePlus, Vercel), compliance advisors, and ecosystem partners. I connect you to the people who matter — not a directory, but curated, contextual introductions where both sides are prepared.
Fundraising Advisory
For companies ready to raise in Singapore and SEA — deal positioning, investor introductions, narrative development, and deck review. I work at the intersection of Chinese AI and international capital, through Semmering, the advisory practice I co-run with my partner.
Go-to-Market Consulting
Strategic advisory for Chinese AI companies entering international markets through Singapore. Covers entity structure, hiring strategy, positioning for local market, partnership development, and the operational playbook for going from "China company with a Singapore address" to "Singapore-based global company."
Why work with me
I'm in the network
I organize events connecting Chinese AI founders with EDB, IRAS/ISCA, Google Cloud, BytePlus, Vercel, and the broader Singapore ecosystem. These aren't cold introductions — they're warm connections built through years of relationship-building.
I understand both sides
Peking University educated, Beijing VC fund experience, now based in Singapore. I think in Chinese but operate in English. I know what Chinese founders need and what Singapore institutions expect.
I write about what I learn
The AI Duet isn't just marketing — it's how I process and share real ecosystem knowledge. My Field Notes come from actual meetings, actual founder conversations, actual policy briefings.
