My name is Allen Lau. I am a recovering CEO, 3x entrepreneur, an electrical engineer by training, a rocket scientist at heart, and a venture capitalist by profession. I was the former CEO and co-founder of Wattpad, the world’s largest social storytelling company with 100 million monthly users. A few years ago, the AI-powered company was acquired by Naver for over US$660 million.

I am now Co-founder and Operating Partner at Two Small Fish Ventures (TSF), an early-stage deep tech venture capital firm that invests in the next frontier of computing and its applications across five key areas: 1) Vertical AI Platforms 2) Physical AI 3) AI Infrastructure 4) Advanced Computing Hardware 5) Smart Energy.

Here is everything you need to know about TSF in two minutes:

I am also on the board of MaRS, the largest urban innovation hub in North America, and Openmind Research Institute, a non-profit organization focused on conducting AI research leading to a better understanding of minds.

I use allensthoughts.com, my personal blog, to think things through “in public” and to write for my own enjoyment. I hope it also benefits many others.
