Do More - Take Charge of Your Life

500 Global’s Khailee Ng – Entrepreneur, Venture Capitalist and Philosopher
Khailee Ng is among Malaysia’s tech successes, having exited two startups with Says.Com and Groupsmore, and funding, through the venture capital firm 500 Global, seven regional unicorns, including Grab, Carousell, Bukalapak and Carsome.
With success having come early to him and plenty of time to consider ‘Life’ at a more tender age than most, he also has reached fascinating conclusions about the world at large, giving this discussion a much wider and colourful range than normal.
