Description

Chung Ng is a seasoned executive and angel investor with over 25 years of experience in the digital marketing and technology sectors. His distinguished career includes significant leadership roles as a CXO at Publicis Groupe, one of the world's largest advertising and communications companies. Prior to his tenure at Publicis, Ng founded and successfully exited Moxie, a digital agency that achieved an impressive $50 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) before its acquisition. This extensive operational background provides him with a unique perspective on scaling businesses and navigating complex market dynamics.

Transitioning into angel investing in January 2022, Chung Ng has rapidly built a notable portfolio, primarily focusing on early-stage Web2 and Web3 companies. His investment thesis strongly gravitates towards disruptive technologies and innovative solutions, particularly within the burgeoning blockchain and decentralized web ecosystem. As an active angel, he has invested in at least 16 companies, predominantly at the Seed stage, demonstrating a clear commitment to supporting foundational technologies and emerging platforms.

Ng's portfolio reflects his deep understanding of the digital landscape, featuring prominent Web3 projects such as Magic Eden, Metaplex, Web3Auth, and Saga. Beyond capital, he acts as a strategic advisor, leveraging his vast experience in growth, digital transformation, and agency operations to guide founders. His expertise in building and scaling a $50 million ARR agency makes him a valuable resource for startups aiming for significant market penetration and sustainable growth.
