THEODORIC'S STORY
Theodoric is a serial entrepreneur who believes in building companies that create lasting positive impact in the world.
He honed his craft founding and building scrappy internet businesses in his teens, and sold a digital media company he founded at age 20.
Today, Theodoric is the Co-founder & CEO of Intellect (>$30M raised), Asia's largest mental healthcare technology company that is redefining mental healthcare across the region.
Theodoric was honoured in the Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2022, and more importantly is a proud born & bred Singaporean 🇸🇬
2015- 2017
Existgreat
ACQUIRED
At 19, Theodoric founded Existgreat, an online media platform built to educate the modern millennial through long-form content pieces from leading experts all across the world across a variety of subjects.
The company was founded from Theodoric's innate interest and desire to better the state of online content in the 2010s, stemming from a clear gap observed during those years where the internet was rampant with clickbait content and viral pop quizzes.
Existgreat grew in readership rapidly and was acquired in early 2017.

What started as Theodoric's personal mission to improve access to care for his loved ones & himself, has grown to become Asia's largest & most important mental healthcare company.
Aged 23 in late 2019 Theodoric founded Intellect, before the onset of the pandemic, having had the distinct conviction that mental health was to become one of our generation's most defining issues.
Having grown up with lived experiences of his own, and seeing first-hand how loved ones struggled without an easy means to care, he sought to change what he believed was a mental healthcare system that was dated, ineffective, and fundamentally broken.
Theodoric went on to begin work on what he believes will be one of the most impactful works in his lifetime.
I believe Intellect will be one of the most impactful companies that will fundamentally change the state of healthcare in Asia.
Fast forward 4 years, Intellect has grown exponentially to become the most significantly impactful change to the mental healthcare landscape across the whole of Asia over the last few decades.
With headquarters in Singapore, and offices in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, & Vietnam - Intellect today offers a fully-owned end-to-end ecosystem of mental healthcare, providing an entirely new means to mental support both digitally and in-person instantly, anywhere, and hyper-localised for all the distinct cultures, languages, and populations of Asia.
Intellect today serves over 3 million lives in Asia across the largest employers & organisations.
The company has collectively raised over $30 million in venture funding from the most important & leading investors in the world, including Tiger Global, Y Combinator, Insignia Ventures, HOF Capital, IHH Healthcare Group, and an extensive list of notable funds, family offices, and founders.
