Unlocking wealth for more
- “If I build more companies, I only create wealth for myself, but I felt that journey would be a lot less fun if you’re not enriching those around you,” shared Khailee Ng, 500 Global Managing Partner.
- After successfully building and exiting Says.com, he realized the power of technology to help others unlock generational wealth, and in a shorter span of time. Khailee then traveled to Silicon Valley, where he connected with 500 Global, and went on to establish 500 Global’s Southeast Asia practice in 2014.
- Today, 500 Global has backed over 300 companies across Southeast Asia. The team continues to invest in early- to growth-stage entrepreneurs driving innovative solutions for sustainable cities, rural digitization, financial inclusivity, human and machine productivity, food security, and healthcare.
