Our Founding Story

Our Founder and Managing Partner Maurice Ng immigrated to the U.S. from Hong Kong with his family with nearly nothing in 2008. He spent the next 10 years learning English, attending college, and working his way up the corporate ladder. During the height of the pandemic, he left his job in Silicon Valley to start Tings Capital, a venture capital fund investing in “The Underdogs” entrepreneurs. Here’s how Ng plans to give back to “The Underdogs”.
