Co-Founder, WOW Pixies DAO

Lily Wu

I'm a curious learner, entrepreneurial thinker & resourceful individual, heavily involved in the SEA startup space and passionate in solving real world problems.

Growing up in an artistic family, I always thought I was going to become a graphic designer or animator. I had no knowledge or interest in business until I discovered entrepreneurship when I was 16 years old.

By the time I finished high school, I ended up making half a million dollars selling shoes.

Even though I stopped selling shoes, this experience taught me a few things. It taught me that entrepreneurial thinking is really just about solving problems and it’s an adaptive skill I use whether or not I’m working for myself or for someone else.

Most of all, it gave me the self assurance that I could pick opportunities according to my most important values rather than for money or prestige. These values are Curiosity, Adventure, Creativity, Relationships and Freedom.

In university, I started my second business, Austern International where as a 19 year old, my business partner and I's vision was to develop the next generation of Millennial Leaders and entrepreneurial thinkers. From our founding in 2014, we launched intensive Career Bootcamps into 6 global cities like New York, Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Sydney and Melbourne with global companies.

I led Austern to generate over 7 figures in revenue, where over 1,000 students had been through our programs primarily from Australia, US, UK, and Canada.

After deciding that I wanted more opportunity to learn from others, grow and challenge myself, I joined NewCampus, a VC-backed edutech startup, building the world's first accessible MBA, first as their Singaporean Country Manager and then to their Head of Learning.

Since then, I have now joined Stripe to be on the other side of the table, working with startups across South East Asia to build out the startup ecosystem and bring more digital infrastructure to the region.
