Welcome to the intersection of
waves, ventures and stories.

I’m Ray Yee — an entrepreneur, surf coach, podcast host, and model who believes in blending adventure with innovation. Here, you’ll discover my journey from the surf to the startup scene, and all the insights and stories along the way.

A person sitting on the sandy beach facing the ocean, with a surfboard and sunglasses placed on the sand nearby.

Through my podcasts — Founders and Funders Australia, where I amplify the voices of underrepresented communities; and Superhosts Down Under where Silvia and I highlight the unique stories of Australian business owners — I’m all about sharing experiences that inspire and connect us. Modeling is another way I aim to add representation to media, bringing more visibility to communities that often go unseen.

Dive in and explore how these stories shape the way we think about innovation, community, and the places we call home. And if you’d like to stay in the loop or reach out for business coaching or advisory, feel free to join my mailing list or contact me directly. I’d love to connect!
