Ray Chan

In 2008, Ray Chan co‑founded 9Gag, a simple humour website known for its viral memes and active online community. Since then, 9Gag has grown into a global digital media platform with an audience of more than 200 million followers, including 52 million on Instagram alone. Beyond media, Chan is now building the publicly listed MemeStrategy, which bills itself as a “cultural collectibles and intellectual property powerhouse”. The company aims to develop a comprehensive ecosystem for “cultural collectibles” such as Pokémon cards—encompassing events, AI-powered tools, financial products and services, and more.
