About

I'm Tim Shyu (徐挺耀), a serial entrepreneur from Taiwan. What I've done for the past fifteen years fits in one sentence: turning new technology into content and marketing businesses that scale.

In 2010, just as Facebook was taking off, I founded Wavenet Technology (潮網科技) — starting from ad buying and growing it into a cross-border marketing-technology company with its own ad-delivery and data platforms, serving clients in Taiwan and internationally. In 2025 we established a subsidiary, Deep Tide Intelligence (深潮智慧), building AI-powered real-time social listening and video-insight platforms as a step toward the capital markets.

In 2011 I started PanSci (泛科學), which grew into Taiwan's largest science media and community, spun off as an independent company in 2014. The idea behind PanSci was simple: put science back into Taiwan's public conversation.

These days almost all of my attention goes to AI agents — how they rewrite the cost structure and the way work gets done in marketing, media, and the content industry. I write a regular column for Wealth Magazine (財訊雙週刊) on exactly this topic.
