Summary
Vinchy Chan is a founder and operator with eight years of cross-border strategy and product experience, now building makea to democratize physical product creation using AI. Previously he founded a made-to-order fashion label and led CLEAR’s China vertical, blending commercial strategy with hands-on brand and supply-side know-how. He frames manufacturing not as a talent gap but as an access problem, and is building an agile production layer that unifies sourcing, sampling, QC and fulfilment for SMEs. Trained in accounting and finance with executive studies at MIT Sloan, he combines financial discipline with design-minded problem solving. Based in London, he brings a rare mix of VC, consulting and founder perspectives that focus on reducing lead times and inventory waste. Offbeat but tellingly, his GitHub bio calls him “A Normal Coder Dog,” hinting at a pragmatic, playful approach to shipping products and systems.
