ABOUT
My name is Joyce Meng and I am passionate about global investing and social entrepreneurship. I am the Managing Partner/Founder of FACT Capital. In addition, since 2008, I have been the CEO/Co-Founder of Givology, a 100% volunteer-run online giving marketplace for education.
​
I graduated from the Huntsman Program of International Studies and Business at the University of Pennsylvania and then went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. There, I pursued two courses of study – the MSc Economics for Development and the MSc in Financial Economics. Subsequently, I have been living and working in New York City.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, taking long walks, and learning new things. I played ice hockey from childhood throughout college, and intermittently play today in NYC when I can find the time.
When I think about my own fundamental truths, four things emerge: (1) in life, change is the only constant. In fixating on the past, you lose opportunities ahead. (2) Hard work creates luck and opportunity. (3) Experiment rather than pontificate. Ideas create change only through implementation. Dreams can be idle, but defining a path forward and executing on it is not. (4) Helping others and giving back is the best way to live a happy life. Life is short – our legacy is the impact we create and the people we help.
