Our story

OUR INVESTORS & PARTNERS

We bring an energetic group of operators & investors who've scaled businesses to thousands of employees, creating transformative exits for shareholders, family and team members.

Andrew Tai

Founder of Motoinsight
Chair of Sanfina Partners

Andrew built Motoinsight from just an idea to becoming a market leader, to being successfully acquired. Andrew currently leads Sanfina, which is an entrepreneurial investment firm and venture studio that invests its own proprietary capital.
‍
Sanfina’s experience spans a lot of different company stages: founding and growing organically from zero to $20M revenue at Motoinsight, scaling to a $100M revenue software business at AutoSync through M&A, and c-level operating experience in a $300M revenue marketplace business at TRADER Corp.

David Au-Yeung

Founder of Flipp
Managing Partner at CXP Capital

David co-founded Flipp, where he scaled the company to over 9-digits revenue, 400+ employees, resulting in a successful exit in 2023. David also co-founded Carity.ai, an automotive-focused AI platform. David now leads CXP Capital Partners, which is a privately-held investment firm that invests in small to medium-size businesses to help them scale.
‍
CXP’s capital and capabilities are based on the experience gained from building, scaling and exiting Flipp - building it from the ground up to an eventual 9 figure exit.
