Gary Lau

Okay listen, let me give you the rundown on Gary Lau, this dude’s the real deal in the startup game. He jumped into the scene back in 2014, co-founding MailTime, which is basically like the texting of emails. Super slick idea, making email feel as quick and easy as sending a text. No bullshit, that’s exactly what everyone wants, right? And it’s not just talk, they actually built it, backed by YC in W16, so you know they crushed it.

Gary’s from Hong Kong but clearly thinking global. MailTime’s got a team of 18 now, and they’ve also thrown in some AI magic with MailTime AI, to help draft and proof emails using generative AI. It’s like he saw the future and jumped all over it. The fact that he’s working on making communication faster and more natural shows he’s all about breaking barriers, making tech more accessible, and just solving real problems.

But here’s the kicker, Gary isn’t just about MailTime. He’s also involved with Measurable AI, which I gotta say, sounds like he’s into the data-informed side of things too. Dude’s got his hands in different pies, always pushing forward, always looking for that future trend in tech and AI. That tells me he’s not just some one-hit-wonder, he’s genuinely curious, always experimenting, always trying to innovate.

What this whole process screams about him? He’s got mad motivation. Started a company that’s all about making emails as easy as texting? That’s some bold shit. It’s about solving a pain everyone’s felt, email is slow, clunky, and annoying. He saw that gap and jumped in with both feet. And he’s not just doing it for the fame or money, he’s genuinely trying to change how we communicate. That’s what entrepreneurs do, right? They see a problem, they build a solution, and they don’t stop until it’s big.

Honestly, Gary’s story is about hustle, vision, and tearing through the bullshit. He’s been in the game a while now, and he’s not just riding the wave, he’s creating waves. That’s why he’s important. He’s one of those founders who’s all about making lives easier, faster, better, not just playing with tech, but truly changing the game. That’s what separates the legends from the rest.
