Carman Chan has forged a distinguished career at the intersection of entrepreneurship, venture capital, and thought leadership. Initially turning down a PhD offer from Imperial College London, she founded EnglishStreet, later acquired by Hong Kong Economic Times (0423.hk), and Click Limited, acquired by Far Eastone (4904.TW). Her achievements earned features in Harvard Business Review and global speaking engagements across 20+ countries.

Transitioning into venture capital, Chan managed Click Ventures during a period when it ranked as the world’s top-performing VC fund by Preqin. In 2022, Click Ventures launched an Impact Initiative recognized by the World Economic Forum as a top innovative fund.

After 9 years of VC journey,  she moved into building her own single-family office with her husband, focusing on fund investments rather than direct startups, signaling a strategic shift from hands-on company building.

Chan’s influence extends beyond operations; she is a published author, sought-after speaker, and media fixture, with features in Harper’s Bazaar, Wall Street Journal, and South China Morning Post. Her recognition as one of Asia's “Top 5 Women to Watch in Tech” by Nikkei Asia Review underscores her role as a key figure in shaping the region’s tech innovation. Throughout her journey, Chan has balanced entrepreneurial success, investment leadership, and thought leadership, consistently driving global tech and investment trends.
