Alan Chow combines venture investing with hands-on AI work rarely seen in the field: he teaches AI and entrepreneurship courses across HKU, HKUST, CityU, and PolyU, founded organizations like AI Lab and GBA AI Academy, holds NVIDIA-certified instructor and Inception Program judge credentials, and previously worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in computer science at HKU. He also brings a mix of backgrounds not often found together—having led a startup to stock exchange listings in both Singapore and Hong Kong, run the family office Focus Capital Group since 2015, and served as an executive at a Fortune 50 company.

Notable Investments
Beyond Ventures is a venture capital fund focused only on Hong Kong startups, named after the Hong Kong rock band Beyond, and built from a mix of a Hong Kong tech VC, the investment firm Hony Capital, and two Hong Kong entrepreneurs who have run their own companies through past economic downturns. It partners with Hong Kong's government-backed Innovation and Technology Venture Fund for co-investment and mainly backs harder technology areas like AI, semiconductors, and biotech rather than consumer apps, with investments in companies such as SenseTime, Prenetics, and Mapxus.
