Tony Wang

Managing Partner, 500 Global

About

Tony Wang champions Taiwan as a strategic software startup hub despite its hardware reputation, personally establishing 500 Global's Taipei office and designing programs to help Taiwanese founders think globally while bringing international startups into Taiwan. He evaluates founders using a specific "3 + 1" framework—excellence in one skill, team-building ability, resilience, plus speed with fast mistake correction—and focuses heavily on ecosystem-building through 500's decade-plus global network of mentors and corporate partners.
