About Me:
• My name is Boon, the founder of Tappollo Media, a NY-based tech venture studio.
• I was born in Malaysia.
• I am a very lucky person.
• I am a flawed man that somehow manages to keep my marriage intact (due to luck).
• My self defense tool is my BJJ sweater.
• I don’t have a TV.
• I don’t drink.
What I’m Working On: (not exhaustive)
• CuriosityLab.ai - An AI-driven in-person EdTech platform for young learners with growth tracking and portfolio management capabilities.
• Pepper - Social cooking platform (just passed 1 million users).
• RALLY - A global platform for racquet sports that provides access to courts, coaches, and communities.
• Dayo Care - A telehealth platform for Africa.
• Ronin.art - An NFT platform to promote artists globally.
• WhoRiddle - A riddle gaming platform.
• Aloe Care Health - An elder care IoT platform.
• ThatLookGood - A video-based restaurant menu system.
• The5 - A smart closet platform.
How I Can Help:
• We fund projects that meet our selection criteria.
• My team and I work with startup founders on product, design, tech, fundraising, launch strategy, and more.
• We work with founders on a cash/equity basis. Think of us like a VC that gets our hands dirty.
• We build a lot of apps because of its massive reach for most startups.
We built the world’s first friendship and dating app for the autism community (which Google Ventures later invested in).
We’ve used cash/equity model to help founders launch over $2B worth of startups over the past 13 years. We also engage with brands such as iHeartRadio, Discovery Channel, Walmart, and WeWork on their initiatives. Aside from helping founders, our studio also actively launches impactful startups, such as Curiosity Lab, an AI-driven quest-based education platform.
