The First Crossing

Guided the first wave of Singapore tech companies into Vietnam, establishing market-entry playbooks and standing up their founding teams on the ground.

2017–18
2019–20
Capital Meets Capability

Expanded into capital advisory and software development. Grew a cross-border investor network spanning FinTech, F&B, e-commerce, and EdTech — turning market access into real funding and real products.

2021–22
The JDI Ecosystem

Launched our specialized branches — Talent JDI, Launch JDI, Tech JDI, Venture JDI, and Capital JDI — to catalyze the growth of innovative companies at every step.
