Kuan Yu

Hey, I'm Kuan Yu.

I build things. Mostly software, sometimes businesses, occasionally endurance.

Currently shipping

  • X-Poster — automated content publishing across platforms
  • Symbiote — an AI that whispers context into your ear during real conversations
  • Accountability Strategiser — tracking my shipping and sales efforts daily(coming soon)

What's worked

  • E-commerce — top seller, China logistics mastered, profitable exit
  • Automation systems — turned 40hr weeks into 4hr weeks
  • 100+ project experiments. 2 shipped. More coming.
  • 5 marathons finished

What hasn't

  • A few startups that went nowhere
  • Crypto arbitrage — built the bots, made a lot, lost it all
  • A 3D printing business I never pushed forward

Based in Singapore. Building from Network School.

If you're building something interesting, let's talk.
