Cindy Leow is a multi‑time founder & investor, building between the US and Southeast Asia.
I'm Cindy. I invest into and build companies focused on financial systems, AI infrastructure, and wellness.
I co‑founded Drift, a leading decentralized finance platform managing over $1.5B in deposits and $100B+ in trading volume; we've raised more than $50M in venture to build the future of finance. Prior to that, I invested with SoftBank Ventures and operated a quantitative hedge fund.
I'm building NARA, a contemporary yoga, sound, and wellness studio in Kuala Lumpur. I host Pax Silica dinners with Peter Noszek, bringing together the best in AI and policy between Silicon Valley and Singapore in one room.
I also write. I wrote a children's book with my sister about the courage to explore unconventional paths in life! You can find it at leowsisters.com.
I grew up in Kuala Lumpur and left at 18 to attend Minerva University in San Francisco as part of its second cohort, before dropping out to go full‑time into building. After stints across New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, and Hyderabad, I'm now based between San Francisco and Kuala Lumpur.
