Ben Chan, Leo Wong and Conrad Lo (pictured above) are the co-founders of Sensbeat, a newly launched Hong Kong mobile startup that wants to be Twitter for music lovers.
Having raised HK$2 million to date from a group of Hong Kong and Silicon Valley investors (one of which is new business angel Kyle Lam), Sensbeat has been beta testing their product with 500 users in the local market and is now ready for a wider audience.
After a chat with co-founder and CEO Leo Wong, we were quickly inspired by his startup story. When Sensbeat was founded less than two years ago, Leo and his co-founders Ben Chan (CTO) and Conrad Lo (CPO) were only third year students at HKUST. The ‘aha moment’ was when Leo, a Hong Kong native, finished an exchange term in Spain and was traveling in Switzerland. Experiencing sentimental feelings listening to ‘Goodbye’ by Air Supply, Leo wished he could share that feeling with his friends back at home.
