Vivian Chan Biography

Vivian Chan is one of the most popular and richest Entrepreneur who was born on September 21, 1984 in Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Chan attended Trinity Lutheran College and went on to study biotechnology at the University of Queensland (UQ), achieving a BBiotech in Drug Design and Development. After spending a year working at UQ as an Investment Process Manager in life sciences for the venture fund Uniseed, she received a Cambridge Commonwealth scholarship to study for a PhD in protein crystallography at the University of Cambridge. Whilst at Cambridge, she was voted into the role of president of the Cambridge University Technology & Enterprise Club (CUTEC) from 2010-2011. Chan was still in this role when she was approached by Alice Bentinck and Matthew Clifford of Entrepreneur First, who were seeking to recruit 30 graduates with entrepreneurship ambition. Chan had recently completed her PhD and was a member of the EF student advisory board, so decided to apply “at the last minute” and was selected to take part in EF’s first cohort in 2012-13. Here, she met Nilu Satharasinghe, an experienced startup founder with a background in machine learning and a MSc in computer science from the University of Oxford.

Chan and Satharasinghe founded Sparrho in 2013 as a solution to issues in staying up to date with scientific literature encountered over the course of Chan’s biochemistry PhD. Inspiration for Sparrho came from Steve, a postdoctoral researcher in Chan’s research lab who would read several key journals and bring paper recommendations to Chan’s research group every morning. When Chan described this problem to Satharasinghe, he suggested ‘digitising Steve’. This idea grew into the creation of Sparrho, a science research discovery platform combining artificial and human intelligence to help research professionals and layman users stay up-to-date with new scientific publications and patents. Sparrho combines the work of industry experts and artificial intelligence in a three-phase process. Sparrho´s machine learning platform searches amongst over 60 million scientific works, the equivalent of over 80% of all current scientific literature. As of Q2 2017, Sparrho has raised a total of $3 million of funding.
