Seamon Chan brings an immigrant-founder mentality to his investing at Palm Drive Capital, explicitly seeking entrepreneurs who share his background of working extremely hard, being resourceful, and focusing on improving their own and their customers' lives. He takes a distinctive approach of spending more time helping struggling portfolio companies rather than doubling down on obvious winners, treating repeated failure as part of the learning process while applying his multi-continent operating experience across mobile, gaming, and social networking startups.

Notable Investments
Palm Drive Capital was founded by three Stanford classmates who deliberately moved from Silicon Valley to New York to avoid Bay Area bidding wars and focus on reasonably priced, under-the-radar software companies from Hong Kong to Hoboken. The firm tracks ~5,000 companies annually in a proprietary database to systematically anticipate funding rounds and operates with the philosophy of spending more time helping struggling portfolio companies than winners, treating failure as a learning tool rather than quietly writing off troubled investments.
