Top SchoolKarl Chan is a founder and CEO who builds next‑generation, AI‑powered sourcing platforms to turn concepts into market‑ready products quickly and cost‑effectively. With 11 years in strategy, consulting, and growth investing, he previously led venture and digital infrastructure investments across Southeast Asia, MENA, and sub‑Saharan Africa at the IFC. A former fast‑track management consultant, he combines deep supply‑chain and sourcing expertise with hands‑on deal experience in fintech, cleantech, and agtech. Karl leverages an uncommon mix of operator and investor perspectives to design Sourcy’s data‑driven catalog, MOQ‑reducing supplier networks, and private‑label development workflows. Based in San Francisco, he holds an MBA from Wharton and an MA from the Lauder Institute, bringing global market insight to product commercialization. He founded Sourcy after observing that many logistics startups missed the harder problem of turning ideas into sellable products, and he’s now building the platform to fix it.
