A Hong Kong-based research and media company dedicated to understanding how technology is transforming human intimacy and connection.

Sammy Lee is an entrepreneur and developer based between Hong Kong and Tokyo, with a career spanning four decades, three continents, and multiple industries.

He built his reputation as a visionary real estate developer.

Beyond real estate and other investments, Lee co-financed Monster, the film that earned Charlize Theron the Academy Award for Best Actress, demonstrating a consistent instinct for identifying and backing culturally significant work.

His focus has now turned to what he views as the defining challenge of the 21st century: the global loneliness pandemic — and the role that AI, robotics, and emotional technology will play in addressing it.

Through Star X Gen he is exploring what he calls "emotional infrastructure" — a convergence of technology designed to combat human isolation at scale.

Lee's life's work has always been about building what comes next, before the rest of the market sees it.
