The Company’s History

2009 – Wealth Dragons Was Founded

Wealth Dragons was registered as a private company in the UK for the conduction of events and seminars. The first seminar was called Lead Generation Secrets in which 12 people attended to learn how to use Google Adwords to generate leads for their businesses.

2009 – 2010 – The First World Tour

Partnering with Success Resources, the world’s largest seminar company based in Singapore, John Lee and Vincent Wong began their speaking tours in Auckland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Borneo, Sydney, Melbourne, Amsterdam, London, Stuttgart, San Francisco and Taipei. This has given the company tremendous experience and insight in organizing world-class events.

2010 – 2014 – A Period of Growth

Wealth Dragons gained notoriety by sharing the stage with celebrities and some of the biggest names in entrepreneurship, such as Sir Richard Branson and Lord Alan Sugar at National Achievers Congress at London Excel, Karen Brady and James Caan at Entrepreneur 2012 at the O2 Arena and ex-President Bill Clinton at Entrepreneur 2013 in London Excel. Our programme portfolio has expanded to include property investing, business entrepreneurship, online trading and public speaking.

2015 – 2019 – A Period of Transitioning

This was the period of transitioning the company to prepare for IPO in terms of its structure, operations and strategies. During this time, a new Board of Directors was formed to ensure adequate corporate governance. The IPO process included:

  • Appointing Marriott Harrison as corporate lawyer.
  • Appointing UHY Hacker Young as reporting accountant.
  • Appointing John Foster-Powell as CFO.
  • Appointing Keswick Global AG as corporate sponsor for Vienna Stock Exchange.
  • Incorporating Wealth Dragons Group Plc in December 2015.
  • Gaining the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) status and fundraising through our roadshows.

2019 – Significant Milestones

This was a year when we reached a significant milestone.

  • We raised a total of £4m and with over 300 shareholders pre-IPO.
  • The Board of Directors officiated with Andrew Beaumont as Non-Executive Chairman and John and Vincent as co-CEOs.
  • On 15 July, the company was listed on the Direct Market Plus market of Vienna Stock Exchange.

2020 and Beyond – Reaping Our Rewards

Our development and investments to date have proven to be fruitful as we, as a company, are in a good position to adapt to the ongoing changes due to the global pandemic.

Two significant achievements have been made during this period. Firstly, we launched Membby, our e-learning platform for helping people start their own online e-learning businesses. We will continue to develop this platform to roll out new features to keep us competitive in the e-learning space as well as grow our subscriber base.

Secondly, we have successfully transferred all our events and training programmes online. Our recent virtual Guerrilla Marketing Bootcamp and Deal-Maker Intensive programmes were delivered online to critical acclaim. Delivering our programmes online have opened up to an international audience that would not have been feasible with live events. We will continue to restructure internally to create a solid infrastructure to support these growth opportunities.
