Edward Yee is a serial social entrepreneur whose career bridges impact, finance, and tech. He co-founded ventures such as Givfunds, an impact investment fund, and nsave, a fintech focused on financial inclusion. His ventures have attracted funding from prominent backers including Sequoia Capital, the UNDP, and Y Combinator.

Today, Edward heads growth and strategy at FAR.AI and oversees its independent testing engagements. As one of the world’s leading independent testing organisations for frontier AI models, FAR.AI has identified vulnerabilities that prompted changes at major labs (including OpenAI and Anthropic), conducted pre-deployment testing for frontier labs, and performed independent testing for governments like the EU AI Office.

A Rhodes Scholar, Edward holds two master’s degrees from Oxford and was the valedictorian of his class at Nanyang Technological University. His contributions have earned him recognition as an Obama Leader, the Commonwealth Youth Award for Asia, and a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. In his free time, Edward enjoys sticking his nose in a book and collecting stories from around the world. He has stood on Bangladeshi train tops, stared down bull sharks, and raced Indian “autos”.
