Hendrick Chan
Director
Born and raised in Hong Kong, Hendrick has been an investor and founder operator across four continents.
Prior to Apis, Hendrick was an investor at Tencent, and worked closely with founders across Southeast Asia, Europe, US and Latin America in the payment, neobanks, software and business services domains. Prior to that Hendrick earned his chops at Generation IM, a sustainability-focused growth equity investor founded by Al Gore.

Q&A
I used to measure life based on how much time I have. Now I am learning to focus on making the most out of the time I have with family, friends and work.
Venturing deep into the wild (snowy mountains, Amazonian woods, deep sea) with a wildlife photographer.
Identifying a quality asset is only half the story of being a successful investor. The other half is about listening to, influencing, and problem-solving with founders and teams on the journey to success. My prior life as an operator have exposed me to the challenges that founders face and enabled me to be a more empathetic and effective investor.
Financial services are fundamental to how people and companies grow and transact. The innovation gaps in growth markets presents an amazing opportunity for emerging markets to leapfrog developed peers (think Pix in Brazil, Alipay/Wechat in China, UPI in India).
