Crowdfunding platforms have been connecting entrepreneurs and backers for years now, revolutionizing the way we think about raising money and bringing products to market. We even held a sold-out conference covering the topic in Hong Kong two weeks ago.
As backers, we’ve never felt more personally invested in a product and its makers. Those startups that have built successful campaigns can all attest to the fact that crowdfunding platforms have helped changed their brand, products and relationship with their customers.
As a pioneer in Hong Kong’s crowdfunding space, Maryann Hwee is no stranger to novel ideas and new business models. With over two decades of experience in direct investment in IT businesses, Maryann has backed a lot of early stage ventures in power generation, infrastructure, telecom, mobile, green energy, life sciences and the internet.
