Partner at Saison Capital

The 0 to 1 journey as a founder can be lonely and challenging. I’ve been there.

At Saison Capital & Onigiri Capital, I partner with founders to grow from 0 to 1. 

My 0 to 1 experiences include co-founding:

- Onigiri Capital, a venture capital fund focused on blockchain startups 
- Glints (Series D), Southeast Asia's largest talent platform for career development and recruitment
- Ventures with BCG Digital Ventures (now BCG X)

I also finished my Stanford undergraduate degree with distinction (top 15%) in 2 years.
