Track Record
The principal behind XINLAI has founded four companies, and has been on the selling side of two acquisitions by publicly listed companies — once as the founder.
He has sat on both sides of that table — as the founder being acquired, and later as the operator searching for the right targets to buy.
He has raised capital from leading global venture and strategic investors, and led teams of more than 200 people across product, technology, operations, partnerships, and monetization. He has run consumer internet products at a scale most founders only read about.
Experience
Over the past decade, the practice has supported hundreds of founders and companies.
Through early-stage growth, global expansion, strategic partnerships, M&A, and listed-company initiatives.
Most of that work has never been public, and most of it will stay that way. Selected details and references are shared only in private conversations.
Advisor Network
XINLAI is extended by a trusted advisor circle — public-company leadership, product growth, brand strategy, capital and M&A, AI.
They are not a roster to browse. Advisors are brought in one at a time, only when their specific perspective can change a founder's decision or the path forward.
