We are thrilled to share some exciting news—Michelle Lin from the AppWorks Southeast Asia Arm has been promoted to Associate!
Before joining AppWorks, Michelle spent five years at Deloitte, specializing in M&A and financial advisory. In addition, she comes from an entrepreneurial family—her father transitioned the business from electronic manufacturing to the medical device industry, ultimately leading the company to success. With both personal and professional exposure to the world of entrepreneurship, Michelle has demonstrated a deep passion for supporting founders over the past two years, providing invaluable insights to those within the AppWorks ecosystem. Additionally, she regularly shares her analysis of public companies’ business models on LinkedIn, helping early-stage founders broaden their perspectives and learn from diverse case studies.
Notably, over the past two years, Michelle has not only deepened her expertise in VC investment but also embraced a brand-new role in life—becoming a first-time mother! Balancing work and family is no easy feat, yet she continues to support founders with dedication and professionalism, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and leadership.
As an Associate, Michelle will take on even greater responsibilities—she will continue supporting founders in Greater Southeast Asia, oversee the CEO Club designed for growth-stage startups in Indonesia, and focus on investing in emerging tech startups across the region. Additionally, she will mentor two newly joined analysts in the Southeast Asia Arm, contributing to the team’s continued growth.
Congratulations, Michelle! Your passion has always inspired us, and we look forward to seeing you create even more value for founders in this new role!

本週迎來立夏的第一縷暖風，我們很高興與大家分享 AppWorks 團隊的新年新氣象 ——AppWorks 東南亞團隊的 Michelle Lin 林亭㚬 正式晉升為投資經理！
Michelle 在加入 AppWorks 之前，曾於德勤累積五年併購與財務顧問經驗，此外，她本身也來自一個創業者的家庭，林爸爸從電腦代工轉型到醫材一路創建事業成功。由於這樣的人生與專業背景， Michelle 在過去兩年間展現了對創業者的莫大熱情，為 AppWorks 生態系中的創業者提供了許多深具價值的建議。此外，她也透過 LinkedIn 定期分享對上市公司的商業模式分析，幫助早期創業者拓展視野，從不同案例中汲取經驗。
值得一提的是，在這兩年間，Michelle 不僅持續在投資領域深耕，還迎來了人生中另一個重要角色——成為一位新手媽媽！ 在職場與家庭之間取得平衡並不容易，而她以極大的熱情與專業，持續為創業者提供支持，展現了強韌的適應力與領導力。
晉升為投資經理後，Michelle 將承擔更多重要職責——她將持續服務東南亞市場的創業者，並負責經營專為印尼成長期新創打造的 CEO Club，同時投入更多精力於大東南亞地區的科技新創投資。此外，她也將指導東南亞團隊新加入的兩位分析師，協助團隊進一步發展。
恭喜 Michelle！ 我們深受你一直以來的熱情所感染，也期待你在新角色中持續為創業者帶來更多價值！
