Through my journey, I've learned that purpose-driven founders can serve as catalysts for positive change and high financial returns.

After gaining invaluable experience working at Airbnb and benefiting from its $100B exit, Bond entered Venture Capital with the same philosophies that underpinned Airbnb's success.

Leveraging his operational expertise, he invested through communities and accelerators like Y Combinator and many others. This journey revealed the potential for both a powerful force for positive change and high financial returns, ultimately giving rise to 007 Venture Partners.

Bond was born in Sydney, with a Chinese-Indo background and deep connections to San Francisco. He believes that his experience in building startups, growing Airbnb for Work in ANZ and extensive networks across APAC& USA have provided him significant advantages to build a great transpacific fund.
