Andrew Tan Yan Hoang is known for his multifaceted leadership—he is a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, educationist, and most famously, a business strategist with a heart of gold. As the Managing Partner of TinkBig Venture Limited, a licensed VC firm certified by the Securities Commission of Malaysia, Andrew has made a mark in equity structuring and fundraising across borders. He has also served as CEO of two other VC platforms: Malaysia’s licensed equity crowdfunding platform CrowdPlus.asia, and Denmark’s 3B Ventures.
陳彥宏是一位多重身份的商界人物——連續創業家、風險投資人、教育家，同時也是一位富有遠見與溫度的商業策略家。他是持牌風險投資公司 TinkBig Venture Limited 的執行合夥人，也是馬來西亞證券委員會認證的 26 家持牌 VC 之一，曾擔任眾籌平台 CrowdPlus.asia 和丹麥風投 3B Ventures 的首席執行官，在股權設計與資金募集方面累積豐富經驗。
Andrew’s entrepreneurial story begins in Batu Pahat, where his teenage years were spent picking up business know-how over casual ‘kopitiam’ conversations. At 13, he worked illegally in a bar where he met a life mentor who would later help change the course of his life. Through this mentorship, Andrew was guided onto a path of purpose, education, and international ambition.
陳彥宏的故事始於馬來西亞南部小鎮峇株巴辖。他少年時期在茶餐室的日常對話中汲取商業智慧，13 歲時在酒吧非法打工，意外遇見一位貴人導師。這位導師不僅提供經濟援助，更引導他重新認識人生的價值，開啟國際化、知識化與資本化之路。
With perseverance and his mentor’s support, Andrew earned a Master’s degree in International Trading and E-Commerce in 2003 from Queen Mary University of London. He then began his professional journey at eBay and PayPal in the UK. Returning to Malaysia, he led two companies to IPO—on the MESDAQ market of Bursa Malaysia and the GEM board in Hong Kong.
在導師的鼓勵與自身努力下，他於 2003 年畢業於倫敦瑪麗女王大學，取得國際貿易與電子商務碩士學位，並於英國 eBay 與 PayPal 開啟職涯。回國後，他成功帶領兩家公司上市，分別登陸馬來西亞 MESDAQ 市場與香港創業板，為其日後投資事業奠定基礎。
Andrew’s reach and influence extend across Asia. He serves as the Malaysian representative for the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), a mentor for China Accelerator, an advisor to Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, and a partner of Thailand’s National Innovation Accelerator. His regional expertise makes him a trusted bridge between founders and capital across borders.
他的影響力早已超越馬來西亞，深入東南亞與大中華市場。他擔任香港貿發局馬來西亞代表、中國創業加速器導師、台灣經濟部顧問與泰國國家創新加速器合作夥伴，是亞洲創投圈中少有能真正整合區域資源的意見領袖。
In 2015, Andrew established TinkBig Ventures (TBV Capital), which today partners with over 30 Southeast Asian investment institutions. He later founded Wealthstone Academy—a business education platform offering intensive 3+2 day workshops followed by a 12-month “Inner Circle” coaching program. Through this, he helps SMEs scale through equity planning and strategic funding.
2015 年，他創立了 TinkBig Ventures（TBV Capital），與東南亞 30 多家風險投資機構建立合作。為進一步賦能中小企業主，他創辦 Wealthstone Academy，透過「3+2 實戰工作坊」與「12 個月內圈輔導計畫」，協助企業主規劃股權結構、掌握募資節奏，實現業務擴張。
Despite his successes, Andrew has faced serious setbacks—including two bankruptcies. These experiences became the foundation of his resilience and mentorship style. He often shares: “You can lose everything—except your mindset.”
儘管有著耀眼成就，他也曾歷經兩次破產。正是這些低谷，塑造出他堅韌不拔的品格與務實教學的風格。他常說：「你可以一無所有，但不能失去重新站起來的心態。」這句話也成為許多學員心中的座右銘。
To Andrew, success is not defined by wealth or titles, but by the lives he can impact through knowledge and access. Receiving the Malaysia Top 20 Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2025 reaffirms his commitment to nurturing the next generation of Southeast Asian entrepreneurs.
在 Andrew 看來，成功從來不只是財富與名銜，而是能否透過知識與機會改變更多人的命運。榮獲「馬來西亞2025年度20大傑出企業家大獎」，是對他多年來投入教育與創投事業的肯定，也為他肩負培育東南亞未來企業家的使命注入新動能。
