Prajit Nanu
Prajit Nanu is the co-founder and CEO of Nium, the Singapore-born fintech unicorn that has quietly become the plumbing behind global money movement for banks, airlines, and digital platforms. Starting with a frustrating attempt to wire INR 40,000 for a friend's bachelor party in Phuket, he built what is now a $1.4 billion payments infrastructure company processing over $8 billion annually across 190+ countries in 100 currencies. A commerce graduate from Mumbai with a sales background rather than a fintech pedigree, Nanu turned that outsider status into competitive advantage - building what incumbents told him was impossible.
Michael Wu
Michael Wu is the founder and CEO of Interlace (interlace.money), a Singapore-based card issuance and digital-asset payments platform that has issued more than 6 million cards across 180+ countries for over 12,000 enterprise clients. A Stanford-trained engineer who built software at Google, Dropcam, and PalmDrive before turning founder, Wu set out to collapse the months-long process of issuing branded payment cards into an API call, positioning stablecoins as the bridge between Web3 and traditional finance. In December 2024 Interlace raised $10 million in Series B1 funding led by Bitrock Capital.
