Grab didn’t start as Southeast Asia’s super app. It began in 2012 with a simple but urgent mission: make transportation safer. What followed was a blitz of scale, from ride-hailing to food, fintech, logistics, and beyond, becoming the region’s most iconic tech giant.

But Grab’s real legacy might not just be the app. It's the talent.

Behind the scenes, a generation of builders was forged under pressure. Now, ex-Grab leaders are launching their own startups—funded, global, and ambitious. From AI to insurtech to mobility, the Grab Mafia is shaping the next wave of Southeast Asia’s startup scene.

Tan Hooi Ling and Anthony Tan turned Grab into a platform that moves over 180 million people—across transport, food, payments, and more.

The Grab Mafia has founded 34 companies and raised $225M.
