I invest through Waypoint, my family's office. A waypoint is a fixed point you navigate by. Here are mine —
Bearing
I back founders who know where they're going before they know how.
Crossing
The best businesses survive a border. I like ones that work in Taichung and in Jakarta.
Ballast
Raised around metal, I like heavy, unglamorous things that keep a company steady.
Company
I invest in people I'd want beside me on a long trip.
Since 2018 we've backed twenty-odd companies. I learn a great deal through them, and I'm most useful on brand, positioning and the first year in a new market.
Where we invest: hospitality, food & beverage, consumer brands, property and materials.
Introductions are welcome.
