About Joseph Zhou

I'm one of the Co-Founders of Accend. Previously, I served as the CFO of a mobile gaming startup based in Singapore with a 50M ARR. I established the company’s licensed poker operation in Europe and scaled the team from 0 to 80 members, while also managing KYC, AML, compliance, responsible gaming, and fraud prevention.
