Creating an App for Early Education
After his daughter was born, KL Wong bought nearly all the early education products on the market, but discovered that none of them were good enough. In order to give his daughter the best kind of personalized early education, Wong found computer programmers online to help him code, and from there he createdhis own early education methods and software. Years later, Wong established his first start-up in Hong Kong and this was the company’s first flagship product.

The Near, and the Far
All along, KL Wong has constantly been searching for a career that he truly wanted to pursue, a career that would be meaningful to the world. Developing Hello Pal has been the most interesting thing Wong has worked on.

As someone who grew up in a multicultural environment, Wong believes that many problems between people with cultural differences usually come from a lack of mutual understanding. Hello Pal greatly removes the communication barriers between people who speak different languages, allowing them to share knowledge in a mutually-workable language environment.
The KL Wong of today enjoys the convenience provided bythe Internet and manages both companies in Hangzhou and Hong Kong with ease.At the same time, he is creating a social app with his team that aims to bring the worldcloser together, and which erases the line between the near and the far. Time has shown what KL Wong has done, and will go on to prove what he believes—that the world of the future will also be brought closer together.
