I co-founded Kaleidoscope Ventures, an operating VC. We help AI companies expand between Silicon Valley and Asia, and we invest early.
I also co-founded SuperAI and TOKEN2049. I live between Singapore and San Francisco. My work is to break down silos between Silicon Valley and Asia – between founders and sovereign capital, SF builders and Asian institutions, the people making AI and the people who will decide how it lands.
Kaleidoscope Ventures bridges frontier tech between Silicon Valley and Asia. We help fast-growing companies expand into Asia – GTM and visibility, compute and infrastructure, and government relationships – and we invest early in exceptional founders.
Most of them need compute. Through Kaleidoscope we're incubating APAC Compute. We're building and financing AI data centres across Southeast Asia, starting in Malaysia. APAC Compute secures colocation in Malaysia, finances and deploys the GPUs, and delivers high-quality AI compute to US offtakers.
SuperAI brought over 10,000 people from more than 150 countries to Marina Bay Sands, Singapore in June 2026. It is the only stage where American labs, Chinese frontier models, European builders, and Southeast Asian infrastructure meet in one room. Singapore is the only place that room can exist. The work now is moving AI from capability into deployment, and bringing the people responsible for that shift into the same room.
TOKEN2049 is the world's largest crypto conference. 40,000 attendees across Singapore and Dubai, 1,000+ side events during TOKEN2049 Week.
I write at paxsilica.io and host Compute & Caviar and the Pax Silica dinners.
Before this I scaled ventures in HealthTech, Fintech and Climate tech. I built Montu in Australia. Earlier, I built and scaled early-stage fintech ventures across Asia at Nova Founders Capital.
Five years out, the work converges on Southeast Asia.
Frontier technology first. Southeast Asia will be a consumer of the AI era by default. I want it to be a producer.
Then the environment. Air quality across Southeast Asia is a crisis that most of the world has decided to ignore. I worked on it at KlimaDAO, an early-stage decentralised climate tech experiment. More to come.
And culture. Southeast Asia's soft power — music, cuisine, art — is its most underpriced asset. From San Francisco, I am growing the Pax Silica Circle through convenings built with the same care as the thesis: acoustics, lighting, set design, music, food, and the people in the room. The work is repeated proximity — a rhythm where the corridor can become trust.
Pax Silica is my thesis, essays, and dinner series — the human layer of the corridor between Silicon Valley and Asia.
The peace of silicon. The shared substrate of computation creates new vectors for cooperation between East and West, even as political narratives diverge.
Pax Silica is the human layer of the AI corridor: a thesis, a publication, and a set of private rooms where frontier builders, sovereign capital, institutions, and cultural connectors can meet before the public narrative hardens. Dinners are the first format. The wider work is relationship infrastructure — circles, salons, and trusted rooms between Singapore, San Francisco, and the Asian ecosystems now looking outward.
