Summary
Admond Lee is a physicist-turned-data scientist and serial founder with eight years of experience building data products, teaching data science, and scaling startups across Southeast Asia. He founded The Runway Ventures to distill lessons from startup failures into a weekly newsletter that translates hard-won mistakes into actionable playbooks for founders. His track record includes a failed incubated fintech startup (Staq) and an acquired influencer-marketing product (Leadgram) while serving as CTO at X10 Media, plus hands-on machine learning work at Micron and CERN. A prolific educator and writer, he’s delivered corporate training to major institutions and contributed to outlets like Towards Data Science and KDnuggets. Admond blends product intuition, data expertise, and public-facing storytelling to help founders avoid predictable pitfalls—a perspective forged by building, failing, reflecting, and ultimately exiting. He’s based in Singapore and is an avid Python and ML practitioner who still codes and launches experimental products like chatted.ai.
