Casey Lau

Hong Kong tech start-up pioneer, co-founder of StartupsHK

Casey Lau is one of the Hong Kong tech start-up pioneers, starting in 1998 with ActionAce.com - HK's first e-commerce site specialising in collectible action figures (later sold to Richard Li's PCCW group in 2000). He also co-founded Velocity9 - a multimedia design studio sold in 2002, and the Popcorn Network - a digital media company that publishes luxury shopping sites.

He is a leader and an influencer in Hong Kong's growing social media industry, having developed a strong presence on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. He has consulted Hong Kong businesses on best practices in their digital marketing and design.

He is one of the original co-founders of StartupsHK, Hong Kong's premier startup community, creating events for startups to meet and share. He is also the newly appointed Community Developer for SoftLayer's Catalyst Startup Program in Asia-Pacific, providing virtual incubator services for startups across the region.

In between obeying the orders of his British Shorthair, he tries to find time to write new iPad comic books like Super Kaiju Hero Force.
