Associate
Jun Wakabayashi
Jun is an Associate covering Greater Southeast Asia. Joining as an Analyst in 2017, Jun soon started leading AppWorks’ evolution into a regional platform by immersing himself in local communities across SEA. His efforts have helped AppWorks Accelerator increase quality SEA founder intake and resulted in a flourishing AppWorks Beacon Funds program, as well as successful investments in burgeoning regional startups such as EMQ and Beam—leading to his promotion to an Associate in 2022. Prior to AppWorks, Jun attended NYU’s Stern School of Business where he received a B.S. in Finance, and spent the following several years conducting sector-based market research at Focus Reports. Outside of work, Jun is an avid meditator and invests an inordinate amount of time maintaining both his physical and spiritual wellness.
