About Lawrence Chan

As an innovative tech entrepreneur, Lawrence is perhaps best known for swift action. Rapidly bringing new products to market within 90-day timeframes often with tight predefined budget constraints. His entrepreneurial journey transcends borders, starting with E2M Ltd, where he pioneered the "Email to Mobile" concept, before moving on to significant roles in companies like Txtpay, Kashin (USA), and Telkash Americas Group Ltd, which introduced groundbreaking technologies and facilitated major transactions and acquisitions. More recently, Lawrence has ventured into the fintech space with TodayPay a revolutionary software platform aimed at digitizing the finance application process in Australia. His diverse entrepreneurial skills, along with ventures across various industries such as transportation, automotive, hospitality, and advisory services have not only added significant value, and substantial exits for his investors and partners but also highlighted the importance of adaptability and resilience. Sometimes described as a “health nut”, personal well-being and a healthy work-life balance are top priorities for Lawrence. Beyond this, as an Asian immigrant to New Zealand, he can leverage his bicultural background to master the best of both of those cultures, from discipline and consistency in the East to modern commercial acumen and fintech networks from the West. Lawrence now spends time looking for projects that excite him, while working on various philanthropic projects where he feels his history and resources can add most value.
