Wayne Koo

Wayne Koo is a Singapore-based investor relations, accounting, and finance professional with more than 25 years of experience. He is the Managing Director (also styled CEO) of Waterbrooks Consultants Pte Ltd, an investor-relations and public-relations consultancy incorporated in Singapore on 11 April 2002 (UEN 200203004W), with offices historically at the New Tech Park building. Waterbrooks provides customised public relations, branding, and crisis-communications advisory to both listed and non-listed companies, and over roughly two decades has worked with well over a hundred public-listed companies and SMEs.

Waterbrooks operates as part of the ShareInvestor Group, whose holding company rebranded from ShareInvestor Holdings to AlphaInvest Holdings in 2024, coinciding with the group's 25th anniversary (the group was founded in 1999). AlphaInvest is a regional financial-services, media, and technology company with 120+ employees across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, serving 700+ public-listed companies and reaching over 300,000 investors. It is the organiser of prominent retail-investor events including INVESTFair, MooFest (with Moomoo Singapore), and the REITs Symposium. Koo concurrently serves as Senior Director (Business Development) of the group and acts as its principal media/press contact.

His professional credentials include FCA (Fellow Chartered Accountant, Singapore), FCPA (Fellow CPA Australia), CVA (Chartered Valuer and Appraiser), SCMC, and the PBS (Pingat Bakti Masyarakat / Public Service Medal), reflecting a background rooted in accounting, valuation, and finance. He is also listed as an Advisor to the Board of Directors of POLWEL Co-operative Society Limited, the co-operative and business arm associated with the Singapore Police Force's Central Welfare Fund.

• No publicly stated angel-investing thesis, check size, or target company profile could be located. His documented professional mandate is investor relations and financial communications, not startup equity investing.
• Through Waterbrooks, his client focus is listed companies and SMEs seeking to "shape and communicate their positioning and fair value and to manage perception among their target audiences" — i.e., IR strategy, corporate branding, and crisis communications rather than venture capital.
• The ShareInvestor/AlphaInvest platform he helps lead is oriented toward retail investor education, market data tools, and IR services across Southeast Asian public markets.
• Founders should treat the "Angel Investor / Seed Round" label with caution and verify directly before assuming he writes startup cheques.
