Our Mission
Markham Valley's name is derived from two neighborhoods in
the cities I have called home over the years. Markham (just
north of Toronto) and the San Gabriel Valley (to the north
east of Los Angeles) are unique in that they are both
predominantly Asian in population. To me, they are a
reminder of the communities I serve as well as the
responsibility to tell their stories.
I have
been building many aspects of my enterprise under the
Markham Vally banner - a production company, a record label,
and now, Markham Valley Ventures. Through this initiative
our goal is to create a community of like-minded AAPI
leaders, connecting investors and proven entrepreneurs to
emerging founders and exciting new ideas, united under the
common goal of furthering AAPI impact across business and
culture.
What we need more than anything is to
rally around our community and build our own system - to
stand unapologetically as we are. Markham Valley Ventures
pledges always to stand at the forefront of the AAPI
community and to build towards a better tomorrow for Asian
America.
