Lynk, an AI-driven knowledge-as-a-service platform, and UBS, the world’s leading global wealth manager and a provider of financial services

“At the time I was trying to determine what kind of business and life I wanted to commit my time to. I was trying to find my calling.” Shortly after Peggy quit her job in finance, she founded Lynk Global in 2015, a platform where businesses can gain access to a pool of mentors and experts. Lynk Global’s network now has more than 840,000 knowledge partners and has pioneered the idea of selling knowledge as a service on a global scale.

“Genesis is in the ecosystem talking to a lot of venture capital firms. It’s a good way for Lynk to be more recognised and it drives our brand awareness,” said Peggy Choi, CEO & Co-founder, Lynk.

Recent news: Lynk, an AI-driven knowledge-as-a-service platform, and UBS, the world’s leading global wealth manager and a provider of financial services, are collaborating to help UBS’s institutional clients globally to enhance the integration of expert access into their investment process. This collaboration comes on the heels of Lynk’s $24M funding round led by Brewer Lane Ventures and MassMutual Ventures, bringing the company’s total funding to $30M.
