2-Minute Story

I run Bae HQ - the biggest community for high-growth Asian-heritage founders & investors in the UK.

There's a f*ck ton of lucky breaks to get me to where I am.

I grew around Ilford in East London in a 90% Asian school.

I had a culture shock when studying Economics at University of Bath including a year placement in the External MPC Unit at the Bank of England.

Fast forward.

In January 2020, I was an expert tech consultant who had worked with big brands across the world.

Yet it was rare for a project to make my eyes light up.

My life changed when I started writing online as part of a New Year's resolution.

I became the second fastest writer to gain 50,000 followers on Medium.com behind only Barack (freaking) Obama!

I became the co-editor of the Entrepreneur's Handbook publication with over a million views per month. It became too much to handle as a side hustle so I took it full-time in June 2021.

I wrote hundreds of pieces for startups and founders around the world and coached founders to become 10/10 writers rather than merely 7/10.

I interviewed over 100 people across the Mindful & Driven and Entrepreneur's Handbook podcasts. This includes Ev Williams (Co-Founder of Twitter) and Marc Randolph (Co-Founder of Netflix!).

Then my dad passed away in August 2022.

Everything I had been doing felt hollow.

Yet he had helped so many small businesses to not only survive but grow through his work.

I want to make the kind of impact he made on people throughout my life.

And so Bae HQ was born.
