Lance Quek

Founding Managing Partner

Lance is no stranger to the world of startups and entrepreneurship. Having parents who were both entrepreneurs, he started his first business in IT systems integration and SAAS development and advisory in 2011. This company was eventually sold to a company in the US for an undisclosed sum in the millions. He has also been an active angel investor, having invested more than $1,000,000 of his own money in startups across multiple sectors over the course of 3 years (directly and indirectly through venture funds).

Having been through the world of entrepreneurship, he strongly believes in helping other entrepreneurs achieve their dreams like himself. As such, he founded Gamerforce Ventures to build entrepreneurs in the eSports and Gaming scene in South East Asia. His vision is to create companies with huge value-add in this space and help entrepreneurs succeed so that they are in a better position to give back.

Right now, he serves as a member of the Business Angel Network of South East Asia (BANSEA) and is sitting on the Investment Committee of an angel fund within BANSEA to invest in innovative startups. He was formerly also an Angel-in-Residence of NTU Entrepreneurship Society, which he joined in 2018 to help students with the hopes of starting their own startups using his personal experiences and networks.

During his free time, Lance likes to spend time with his parents, who he strongly believes that it was all because of the sacrifices they have made in the past which allowed him to become who he is today. He also likes to watch shows such as Shark Tank and Dragons Den, which inspires him further to help more entrepreneurs around the globe. As he is a strong believer in lifelong learning, he has been keeping up to date with technology and economic events around the world through his favorite phone app, Amazon Kindle.
