• 9GAG started raising its round of funding at the beginning of 2012. Ray says, “We believe that if we want to build a great company, we need the experience and connections from the best people.” According to True Ventures’ welcome post, 9GAG currently sees over 70 million unique visitors monthly.

• The 28 year-old attended the prestigious University of Hong Kong, where he was a member of the university’s debate team and lacrosse team. He lived on campus, staying in Ricci Hall, a boys-only dormitory where he says he met a lot of “brothers”.
• “I just didn’t spend enough time on my legal studies,” he admits.

• He is rather coy about the story behind the name though. When asked why ‘9GAG’, he cheekily quotes the famous line from Top Gun – “I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you”.
