Our friend and team member Henry Wang passed away yesterday on November 9th from a rare form of cancer that he had battled for over 4 months. Henry was an advisor on the Travel Startups Incubator team and a close confidant of Managing Partner, Matt Zito.
Henry had a rare gift of not only being a technology expert but a business strategist as well. He was inspirational in helping us see the transition from an advisory business model for startups to an incubator model where we both funded and advised travel startups. Henry will be greatly missed by the entire Travel Startups team.
Mr. Wang had 20+ years of experience architecting and implementing state-of-the-art enterprise application solutions with cost-effective and high-available IT infrastructures that foster company growth. Clients under Mr. Wang’s management included: Onboard.com, Opodo, OneTravel.com, Rovia.com, World Ventures, Travel Leaders Group and United.com.
