Bio

You can find me on Twitter @amytongwu. I spend a lot of my time thinking about consumer adoption of crypto and venture investing. I've been on both sides of the table for the past decade+. Previously, I led FTX Ventures, and led crypto and gaming investing at Lightspeed, where I invested in companies including Arbitrum / Offchain Labs, Yuga Labs, Solana, Mysten Labs / Sui, Epic Games, TripleDot Studios, Faraway Games, Alchemy, and others. I was also an executive at Discovery, Inc, as SVP and CFO of the Global Digital and Sports portfolio, a $2B+ business including Eurosport, PGA, Olympics, US Digital and TV Everywhere, Motortrend, and Scripps Lifestyle Studios. Before that, I was based in Singapore as CFO of our Asia-Pacific business, covering 30+ countries. Discovery (NASDAQ: DISCA) is a global media company with over $11B in annual revenues operating the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC, Food Network, HGTV, OWN, Group Nine Media, Eurosport, and other international media brands. Before Discovery, I was SVP of Finance and Operations at NewsCred, responsible for FP&A, accounting, investor relations, legal, tax, audit, corporate development, systems, and operations. NewsCred is the leading enterprise content marketing SaaS platform, with offices in NYC, London, and Bangladesh, and has raised $85M+ in funding. Before that, I was an investor with IA Ventures and Insight Venture Partners, covering SaaS, ecommerce, and marketplace categories globally. Outside of work, I climb and ski mountains.
