Matthew Yau

Investment analyst on the buy-side, IPO and takeover analyst on the sell-side, and CMO of a start-up we grew to 1,500+ users — all while reading Global Business at HKUST (Dean's List, 3.918). On the buy-side, I'm an Investment Intern at HKUST's Redbird Innovation Fund. I write board-ready investment memos for the Executive Committee, screen deep-tech start-ups across AI agents, AI infrastructure, new energy and advanced materials, and track portfolio performance on a NAV basis alongside external GPs. On the sell-side, I spent Dec 2025 – May 2026 at Odysseus Capital Asia (SFC Type 4, 6 & 9) covering Hong Kong IPOs and equities. I priced new listings against P/E, P/S and IPO trading multiples to issue subscribe and do-not-participate calls, initiated "Strong Buy" theses on HK-listed names using CCASS participant and shareholding-flow data, and supported the privatisation of a company under the Hong Kong Codes on Takeovers and Mergers. What makes me different: I ship tools, not just decks. I built an automated market-monitoring pipeline on the HKEX API in Python that streams live pricing into Excel and pushes threshold alerts to Telegram, removing 2+ hours of manual work a week for my team. I also built the analytics dashboard that took my team to the Grand Prize at the Stanford × HKUST Global Sustainability Challenge. Outside the desk, I'm CMO at Unimatch, grown to 1,500+ users and a 5,000+ follower community with no paid spend.
