50: Andy Chan, Co-Founder Qupital

Andy Chan is taking the Hong Kong fintech world by storm. As co-founder of Qupital, Andy helps small- and medium-sized enterprises connect with investors to gain access to immediate funding on unpaid invoices. Qupital provides businesses with much-needed cashflow and investors with access to a new type of short-term investment, a win-win-win for all involved.

Since launching Qupital only 1 year ago, Andy and his co-founder have secured funding from both Hong Kong-based MindWorks Ventures and ecommerce juggernaut Alibaba, a first for a fintech startup in Hong Kong.

Much like his approach to growing his business, Andy wasted no time launching his entrepreneurial journey and growing as a startup founder. At Brown University Andy took art in a startup accelerator program and immediately left for Denmark following graduation to join a legal technology startup.

Today’s episode is all about fintech, so if you have a burning idea for your own fintech startup, you won’t want to miss Jay’s conversation with Andy.

  • How to adapt foreign fintech business models to the Hong Kong ecosystem
