✨Hey there, tech stackers! 🚀

Five months after leaving Google, Andrew Yeung is building something rare: a creator-led tech, media, and events company that actually works.

He's hosting massive mixers, investing in early-stage startups, building apps, and writing to 70,000+ readers—all while managing a lean team and a sharp tech stack.

We read his breakdown and were blown away by how much he’s running—and how dialed-in his setup is. If you’re early in your career, launching something new, or looking to escape the 9-to-5 mold, this one’s for you.👇

👥 People

Andrew’s biggest force multiplier? A small but mighty team.

• Chief of Staff (Jacob): Runs events, vendor ops, client work, and partnerships

• Assistant (Sharon): Handles inboxes, calendars, research, logistics, and async ops via Loom + voice notes

Bonus: He recommends platforms like Athena and Shepherd to source incredible support talent.

💰 Banking

For banking, Andrew uses Rho—a tech-forward platform that fits solo operators and startups alike.

Why he chose it:

• Stellar customer support

• Corporate cards + high-yield treasury

• Built with non-traditional entrepreneurs in mind
