Career

In 2001, Chiang and his wife Nicole Yee co-founded CozyCot, a social networking website for Asian women. He led the company's tech development. The portal became Singapore's largest online women community, in 2010 with over 500,000 unique visitors each month. It expanded also geographically, in the rest of East Asia and among Asian women from United States, Australia and New Zealand, becoming one of the local websites "putting Singapore on the global map". In 2010, CozyCot Pte. Ltd. attracted an undisclosed investment from Hong Kong's JDB Holdings, thus making the company majority-owned by JDB.

platform Spiking, launched in 2016. The idea grew from his personal observations as a private investor of 15 years. In order to make better sense of unexplained spikes in market activity, he thought of a platform to consolidate big data and relevant information and he spent 20 months and $250,000 developing the app. The platform provides financial information about several stock exchange markets in Asia and Australia. It consolidates disclosures published on several markets by tracking the selling and buying patterns (with AI technology) and also by tracking investors from these markets.
