Xiangyun (XY) Chen
XY is a Senior Associate at Square Peg based in Singapore, investing in founders with global ambitions. She started her career as an investor at Temasek, focusing on fintech and AI investments across the US and Europe. There, she evaluated companies at different stages - from high-growth private companies to public market leaders - and developed a cross-geography perspective. At Square Peg, she's pursuing her passion for early-stage investing - a sweet spot where she believes capital can be the powerful catalyst for innovation.
XY completed her Bachelor of Computing at the National University of Singapore alongside the multidisciplinary University Scholars Programme, giving her both technical grounding and experience connecting with people across diverse disciplines. She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, where she chaired the VCPE Conference, the largest student-run conference in North America.
You'll find XY attempting (key word: attempting) to improve her wakesurfing and bouldering skills, working out at the gym with her favourite investing podcasts on loop, and hopping between cities to visit friends around the world - often shamelessly crashing on their sofas.
