About Ascend Capital Partners

We started it.

Since our founding by two Wall Street professionals in 2002, we have generated over US$100 million in returns from successful investments.


We’ve done it.

Led by Kin Lai Monita Au, our founder, and a serial entrepreneur. We have started, managed, and sold businesses, and understand the challenges. Our partners have experience and contacts across different industries and geographies.


We build it.

We take an active role in advising and guiding our investments at the Board level and even operationally if needed. We work with companies in whatever capacity is needed - financial, BD, go-to-market strategy.


We globalize it.

Targeting companies from developed markets that have unique solutions that can be commercialized internationally. We aim to share high-tech products to other markets, especially China with greater growth opportunities.
