Not bad for a kid who made a living out of web design. <em>(What are you talking about?)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI used to flip the classified pages of newspapers, and if a company advertised something, where you only had a number to contact and no website, I\u2019d call them and offer my [web design &amp; development] services,\u201d reminisced Khailee Ng, Managing Partner at <a href=\"http:\/\/500.co\/\">500 Global<\/a>, of his adolescence in Malaysia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who would have guessed that <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fSc739\">Khailee\u2019s contagious entrepreneurial and creative spirit began<\/a> as a coder!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most of us, however, may know that Khailee co-founded two companies \u2014 Says.com and Groupsmore \u2014 with fellow entrepreneur Joel Neoh, who is currently helming 500-backed fintech startup <a href=\"https:\/\/myfave.com\/\">Fave<\/a>, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2021\/04\/13\/pine-labs-acquires-southeast-asian-startup-fave-for-45-million\/\">acquired by Pine Labs last year<\/a>. Both Says.com and Groupsmore were acquired too, with Says.com even being listed on the Malaysia stock exchange.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI spoke to my dad about how he and his siblings spent their life savings to educate us and give us opportunities, and how the money I made from the sale of Says.com was more than their entire life savings combined. Technology is the way forward, to help others unlock generational wealth, and in a shorter span of time. It was quite a revelation,\u201d Khailee said.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cKnowing that this power exists, I had two options: either I start building more companies or do something more meaningful with my life. If I build more companies, I only create wealth for myself, but I felt that journey would be a lot less fun if you\u2019re not enriching those around you,\u201d he added. So, he began investing in others as an angel investor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cThe rest of the world definitely has talented people, and there\u2019s plenty of markets that are untapped. So, if we believe in the potential of other markets, where there\u2019s good local talent, why not invest there?\u201d Khailee shared.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Khailee is realizing his dream of investing in the rest of the world with 500 Global, whom he met in 2012. Today, he oversees US$2.7B worth of assets under management across 81 countries with the team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fSc739\">Tatler Asia<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No country too small for big dreams You may have noticed a familiar face on the cover of Tatler Malaysia\u2019s November 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[473],"class_list":["post-3723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-500-global"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
