Singapore CEO Who Maxed Out 65 Credit Cards Spurs $1 Billion IPO Windfall

In Ravinder Sajwan’s early Silicon Valley career, he blew through his $3,000 monthly credit card limit every two days hustling on a series of tech startups.

“We had no money,” said Sajwan, speaking of his first attempts at building businesses in the 1990s. “I would call the card company, say, ‘I’m really sorry, I think I messed up,’ and then got 20 credit cards. At one point, I had 65 credit cards doing just this.”
