Kai is a 31-year-old tech product manager in Singapore who runs three profitable side projects that collectively earn more than his day job — and his day job pays extremely well. He grew up in a middle-class family in Tampines, son of a Malay-Chinese civil engineer and a Tamil-Singaporean teacher, and he learned early that the system rewards people who build within it while building outside it. He studied computer science at NUS, got hired at Grab as a PM, and started building side projects during the pandemic because he couldn't stand having only one income stream. His portfolio: a no-code tool for restaurant owners (SaaS, $4K/month MRR), a curated job board for Southeast Asian tech talent (Kai is a 30-year-old tech product manager in Singapore who runs three profitable side projects that collectively earn more than his day job — and his day job pays extremely well.
