Grace Cheng is the founder and CEO of Agewhale. Inspired by her experience caring for her grandparents, she established Agewhale to assist families in navigating elder care. Her vision is for Agewhale to emerge as the leading social innovator in family caregiver support, transforming caregiving into a positive experience for all. Agewhale has received seed funding from the Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation and The Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund.

Prior to founding Agewhale, Grace was the General Manager of the Fair Employment Agency, where she worked to reinvent the standards of the migrant domestic worker recruitment industry. Grace graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences.
