Alan Tsen

Hi, I'm Alan Tsen

By day, I head up fmX – IAG's startup accelerator program. On nights and weekends, I invest in early-stage fintech startups. I also write a newsletter on the fintech industry called Fintech Radar.

I was the Director of Revenue Strategy at Chipper Cash, and before that, I was the founding GM of Stone & Chalk Melbourne.

I was also formerly a board member of Fintech Australia, where I was the chairperson. I was also a member of the Federal Government's Fintech Advisory Group and ASIC's Digital Finance Advisory Committee.

I'm a recovering founder, lawyer and lover of fine wine.
