Kevin Chong co-founded Outward VC by transitioning it from an internal venture arm of Investec to an independent, multi-LP institutional VC platform, bringing an unusually broad background spanning strategy consulting at Bain & Company, investment banking at Citi, growth equity at 3i, and technology M&A at Arma Partners. He positions himself as a fintech specialist for fintech founders, focusing on financial infrastructure and B2B fintech rather than consumer plays, and often backs non-obvious or unfashionable companies in less crowded, infrastructure-led opportunities where his network in banks and large financial institutions can provide material help.
