An operating platform built for
One Specific Problem
IPS Strategy Holdings was not built as a broad-based advisory business. It was structured to solve a precise structural problem in the entertainment economy: the $150 billion entertainment IP market operates almost entirely through legacy intermediary models, and as a result, the fan economies forming around that IP remain outside the direct reach of the rights holders at the centre of them.
Fan-driven economic activity is not a future projection. Secondary resale markets for tickets, collectibles, and memorabilia already exceed $6.5 billion. Fan crowdfunding contributes over $120 million annually. Millions of coordinating communities, across Discord, Telegram, and social platforms, are actively discovering, promoting, and exchanging value around entertainment IP every day. IP owners participate in almost none of it.
The constraint is not awareness. It is infrastructure. Most rights holders lack the technical systems, regulatory frameworks, and direct distribution channels required to participate in these economies, let alone to lead them. IPS was built to provide exactly that infrastructure: the rights governance to manage IP at scale, the Web3 architecture to activate fan participation within a compliant framework, the physical product layer to reach mainstream audiences, and the capital structure to fund it all with discipline.
"We work with a select number of rights holders and investors at any given time. The relationships we build are designed to compound — each successful activation expanding access to broader rights, broader portfolios, and broader markets."

[IPS Strategic Advisors]
A network assembled at the edges of
What's Possible in this Market
A network assembled at the edges of
What's Possible in this Market
The IPStrategy advisory network was assembled on a single criterion: each advisor carries a form of access, to IP owners, capital markets, live entertainment ecosystems, or institutional networks, that took a decade or more to build, and that materially expands what IPStrategy can do and where it can go.
Ross Leo
Entertainment & IP Activation
Ross brings direct access to top-tier entertainment IP and a proven track record of activating landmark IP experiences across Asia. His standout portfolio includes One Piece Adventure Carnival, one of the region’s most recognisable large-scale IP activations.
Jonathan Low
Capital Markets & Financial Infrastructure
Jonathan brings deep institutional capital access across Asia and the Middle East, with experience building cross-border financial infrastructure at scale. He is Founder and CEO of Biptap, the world’s first Omni Bank spanning 150+ countries.
Jun Ahn
Web3 Ecosystems & Investment Networks
Jun brings deep experience across Web3 ecosystems, investment networks, and community-driven IP development. His most notable track record includes leading APAC expansion at Ledger, one of the world’s best-known digital asset infrastructure companies.
Hartman Harris
Youth Culture, Esports & Consumer IP
Hartman brings deep expertise in youth culture, esports, and community-led consumer IP across Southeast Asia. He is best known as Co-Founder of EVOS Esports, the region’s largest esports organisation with 35 million fans.
Dr. Ian Tan
Government Relations, Brand Activation & Growth
Dr. Ian brings cross-market experience in government partnerships, brand activation, and digital growth across APAC. His most notable track record includes spearheading Malaysia Blockchain Week, one of the region’s largest industry platforms.
Ross brings IPStrategy something that no amount of capital can accelerate: direct, proven access to the world's most sought-after entertainment IP, and an established track record of activating it at scale across Asia. As Co-Founder of SL Experiences, he has led the execution of landmark IP events across the region — One Piece Adventure Carnival in Shanghai, Naruto The Gallery in Bangkok, Attack on Titan Exhibition in Jakarta, and the Demon Slayer Exhibition in Singapore — establishing a category standard for immersive, rights-holder-trusted IP commercialisation. As a stakeholder in Base FX — the VFX studio behind productions for Disney, Marvel Studios, and Lucasfilm — he extends IPStrategy's reach directly into world-class content production infrastructure. At IPStrategy, Ross advises on IP sourcing, partnership structuring, and experience-led commercialisation, operating as a key bridge between rights holders, creative studios, and live markets across Asia and United States.ound in venture portfolio management at Axcel Partners — where he oversaw operational scaling, revenue systems, and growth infrastructure across multiple business units — Douglas brings the internal discipline that early-stage platforms in complex markets consistently lack. At IPS, he is responsible for fundraising coordination, team structure, internal systems, and the operational frameworks that allow the group to scale across entities and IP activations without losing execution rigour.
Ross Leo
Entertainment & IP Activation
Kenny's role at IPS is rooted in a conviction he has held since 2017: that the next generation of IP value would be created not through content distribution, but through community ownership and economic participation. He has spent the intervening years building the frameworks — tokenised ecosystems, community governance models, fan-to-asset conversion systems — that make this possible in practice rather than in theory. At IPS, he provides strategic direction across the group and leads the design of the dual-token economic architecture that sits at the centre of every IP activation.
Jonathan Low
Capital Markets & Financial Infrastructure
Jun Ahn brings his breadth of what he has built and advised across the Web3 economy, combined with the cultural fluency to operate where technology, capital, and entertainment converge to IPStrategy. As Founder of Hashtrip and CEO of MemeCore — an early-stage incubator focused on memetic IP and creative economies — he has developed direct visibility into where community-driven IP value is forming before it becomes legible to the broader market. He previously led APAC expansion at Ledger, scaled an esports SaaS platform across 20+ countries, and advised over 80 companies through Chains.Asia. At IPStrategy, Jun Ahn advises on partnership development, investment ecosystems, and the community IP dynamics that sit at the centre of the IPStrategy’s model.
Jun Ahn
Web3 Ecosystems & Investment Networks
Hartman has spent over a decade building at the exact intersection IPStrategy operates within — youth-driven entertainment, community economics, and IP commercialisation across Southeast Asia. As Co-Founder of EVOS Esports, SEA's largest esports organisation with 35 million fans and multiple world titles, he demonstrated that community-first IP builds sustainable commercial infrastructure at scale. As Co-Founder and CEO of ATTN Group — whose portfolio includes WHIM, Noctua, and IGF — he continues to operate at the frontier of lifestyle-led entertainment and creator economies across the region. At IPStrategy, Hartman advises on distribution strategy, consumer IP activation, and the youth market dynamics that define IPStrategy's primary fan community audience.
Hartman Harris
Youth Culture, Esports & Consumer IP
Dr. Ian's advisory contribution sits at an intersection that is genuinely rare: institutional credibility earned through government and exchange relationships, applied to the fast-moving world of digital IP and community marketing. As Founder of ACTIV8 Lab under the BlockOffice group, he has led award-winning campaigns across gaming, blockchain, and digital culture — including spearheading Malaysia Blockchain Week, one of the region's largest industry gatherings. His background spans co-founding Malaysia's leading esports marketing agency and working directly with top blockchain brands, exchanges, and government agencies across APAC. At IPStrategy, Ian advises on cross-market growth, government partnerships, and brand activation — providing the institutional bridge that allows IPStrategy to operate credibly across both regulated and emerging market environments.

The IPS leadership team was not assembled by function. It was assembled by capability gap, each member carrying a specific domain expertise that the integrated IP monetisation model requires, and that no single professional background could provide.
Douglas Lee
Managing Director
Douglas leads IPS’s operating architecture, fundraising coordination, and internal execution systems. Formerly at Axcel Partners, he oversaw portfolio scaling, revenue systems, and growth infrastructure across multiple business units.
Kenny Hong
Director
Kenny leads strategic direction across IPS and designed the dual-token architecture at the core of each activation. Since 2017, he has focused on building tokenised ecosystems, governance models, and fan participation frameworks.
Darieus Lim
Head of Marketing and Technology
Darieus leads brand, platform, and token utility design across IPS, connecting product architecture with commercial growth. His most notable track record includes building omni-channel systems that reached more than two million users across Southeast Asia.
Clarence
Head of Operations
Clarence leads operations, treasury governance, compliance infrastructure, and cross-entity coordination across IPS. At Onchain Custodian, he managed oversight responsibilities for over USD $1 billion in digital assets under regulated frameworks.
Travis Ye
Head of Business Development
Travis leads strategic partnerships and capital relationships across IPS, connecting projects to institutional and Web3-native networks across APAC. He is Co-Founder of ICP Singapore under the DFINITY Foundation’s $200 million program, and built OffChain Singapore into one of Asia’s largest Web3 networks.
Johnny Chiam
Head of IP Licensing
Johnny leads IP acquisition, rights negotiation, and licensor relationships across IPS. As former CMO of XM Studios, he built global licensing relationships with Marvel, DC, and leading anime franchises.
Douglas leads the operational architecture that turns IPS's strategic model into a functioning business. With a background in venture portfolio management at Axcel Partners — where he oversaw operational scaling, revenue systems, and growth infrastructure across multiple business units — Douglas brings the internal discipline that early-stage platforms in complex markets consistently lack. At IPS, he is responsible for fundraising coordination, team structure, internal systems, and the operational frameworks that allow the group to scale across entities and IP activations without losing execution rigour.

At IPS, he provides strategic direction across the group and leads the design of the dual-token economic architecture that sits at the centre of every IP activation.
Kenny Hong
Director
Darieus operates at the intersection of product architecture and commercial growth — a combination that is rarer than either skill in isolation. Before IPS, he led growth and product development initiatives across health-tech and lifestyle platforms in Southeast Asia, building customer journeys and omni-channel systems that reached more than two million users. At IPS, he oversees brand strategy, platform development, token utility design, and the community engagement infrastructure that connects physical products, digital experiences, and fan participation into a coherent user experience.
Darieus Lim
Head of Marketing and Technology
Clarence brings a credential that most Web3-adjacent businesses cannot claim: proven institutional experience managing digital assets at scale, within a regulated framework, for clients who require both. At Onchain Custodian, he managed oversight responsibilities for over USD $1 billion in digital assets under MAS and global regulatory frameworks. At IPS, he leads group operations, treasury governance, compliance infrastructure, and cross-entity coordination — the operational backbone that allows IPS to move quickly without compromising the regulatory rigour that IP owners and institutional investors require.
Clarence
Head of Operations
Travis's value to IPS is the network he has built at the point where institutional capital, Web3 infrastructure, and APAC market access converge. As Co-Founder of ICP Singapore — operating under the DFINITY Foundation's $200 million program — he leads grassroots blockchain ecosystem development across developer grants and adoption programs. Through OffChain Singapore, he has built one of Asia's largest Web3 professional networks, spanning 70+ cities and over 3,000 members. At IPS, he leads strategic partnerships and capital relationships, connecting IP projects to the institutional and Web3-native networks that provide distribution, liquidity, and credibility.
Travis Ye
Head of Business Development
Johnny's contribution to IPS begins before any deal is negotiated: direct, credible access to the IP owners that define the entertainment landscape. As CMO of XM Studios, he built and managed global licensing relationships with Marvel, DC, and leading anime franchises — earning the category-specific trust that Japanese and Hollywood IP holders extend to very few partners. At IPS, he leads all IP acquisition, rights negotiation, and licensor relationship management, translating a decade of licensing experience into the partnership access that gives IPS its first and most defensible advantage.
