About Us

WELCOME!

As the Chair of the ACE NextGen Board of Directors for 2024, I am honored and privileged to serve our community.

Our vibrant community serves as a platform for AAPI entrepreneurs to forge lifelong relationships with like-minded individuals who embrace our core values to be community oriented, authentic, generous, humble, and possessing a growth mindset in their pursuit of excellence.

In our commitment to help our members thrive, we have thoughtfully curated a range of programs designed to help our members level up their businesses, such as mastermind groups, mentorship opportunities, and education resources, along with access to a nationwide network of members across diverse industries for invaluable insights.

Our vision, however, is ambitious. We aspire to become the accelerator of AAPI entrepreneurship, and we recognize that achieving this goal hinges on the generous support of our sponsors.

When you choose to support ACE NextGen, you are investing in the growth and success of the next generation of AAPI entrepreneurs through our programs and initiatives. This enables us to amplify resources and provide more opportunities for a greater impact. Not only does your support pave the way for a brighter future for our community, it also sets a precedent to other community leaders and businesses of your dedication to elevating the AAPI community - a marginalized group that is often overlooked due to the model minority stereotype, which can render AAPI issues invisible. I invite you to be our champion and advocate in sponsorship, helping us create a lasting impact that will uplift and empower the AAPI community for generations to come.

We have a saying at ACE NextGen, "If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together." I am sincerely grateful to share this journey with you, and I am thrilled for the exciting year ahead.

Chair, ACE NextGen Board of Directors
