Patrick Y-Kin Grove (born 30 April 1975) is an Australian entrepreneur and investor based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[2] He is the co-founder, chairman and group chief executive officer of Catcha Group, a digital business investment holding company he started in 1999, and he has founded or co-founded a series of internet companies in Southeast Asia, several of which he took public.[3][4]

Grove's ventures include iProperty Group, an online property portal network sold to REA Group in 2015 to 2016; iCar Asia, an online automotive classifieds business that merged into the Malaysian unicorn Carsome; iflix, a video streaming service sold to Tencent in 2020; and Frontier Digital Ventures, an ASX-listed classifieds investment vehicle where he became executive chairman in September 2025. Company profiles credit him with taking six businesses from start-up to initial public offering.[5][6]

From February 2021 to July 2024, Grove was also chairman and chief executive of Catcha Investment Corp, a Cayman Islands blank-cheque company sponsored by Catcha Group that listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The vehicle completed a business combination with the Norwegian firm Crown LNG in July 2024, at which point Grove's role in the resulting public company ended.[7][8]

Press coverage of his career from 2000 onward describes a repeated pattern: launching or acquiring an internet business, rebuilding it after early setbacks, taking it public in Australia or Malaysia, and eventually selling or merging it. His BRW Rich 200 entry in 2015 valued his personal wealth at A$286 million; Forbes placed it at US$345 million a decade later.[9][10]

Early life and education

Grove was born in Singapore on 30 April 1975 to a Singaporean-Chinese mother and an Australian father.[11] His mother gave him the Chinese middle name Y-Kin, meaning "determined", a name he said he did not learn the meaning of until years later.[12] A profile published in his secondary school's alumni magazine describes him living in Singapore, Los Angeles, Jakarta and Malaysia as a child before his family settled in Sydney, where he finished high school.[13]

Grove attended the United World College of South East Asia in Singapore from 1989, entering what was then called Year 4 (now Grade 9), and completed the GCSE programme and the first year of the International Baccalaureate there before finishing secondary school in Australia.[14] He went on to the University of Sydney, where he earned an undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce degree majoring in finance, started two businesses while still a student, and afterwards trained and qualified as a chartered accountant.[15][16] After graduating in 1996, he joined the accounting and professional services firm Arthur Andersen, working first in its corporate recovery division and later in corporate finance, where he wrote business plans for internet flotations in Australia.[17]

Career

Catcha.com and the founding of Catcha Group (1999 to 2005)

By mid-1999, short of completing his chartered accountancy, Grove left Arthur Andersen to start an internet company, later saying he had become disillusioned raising money at the firm "for people that I felt were not worthy of the money investors were giving them."[18] He returned to Singapore and, with three partners, founded Catcha.com, an internet portal aimed at Southeast Asia, in 1999.[19] Catcha.com registered for an initial public offering on the Singapore Exchange in late 1999 and began a roadshow in early 2000, seeking to raise about S$55 million (US$32 million); contemporary coverage described it as one of three high-profile Singapore dot-com IPOs launched within days of each other.[20] The NASDAQ crash of April 2000 hit sentiment just before Catcha.com's listing; Grove, then 25, told Asiaweek that reports the company was "as good as dead" were "nonsense", and said that if an IPO could not proceed within six months the company would raise another round of financing instead.[21]

The IPO was ultimately abandoned. Accounts of the period give differing figures for the resulting debt: Grove told the New Straits Times in 2005 that the company was "RM5 million in the negative" after cancelling the listing three days before completion, closing offices in three countries and laying off about 50 staff, while BusinessWeek and BRW later put the shortfall at roughly US$2 million.[22][23][24] Grove said the company lost money in each of the following eight years as it restructured.[25]

Rather than close the business, Grove moved it into magazine publishing, launching one new magazine title a year in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and then, between 2004 and 2007, launching or acquiring roughly 15 more, building a portfolio of about 20 magazine titles across Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, including JUICE, Stuff, FourFourTwo and Total Film.[26][27][28] By early 2005, the renamed Catcha group also ran an events arm, including the Starlight Cinema outdoor film festival, a modelling agency holding the Elite Model franchise for Singapore and Malaysia, and a television production unit behind the show Boxoffice Now on Malaysian broadcaster 8TV.[29] Grove relocated the business from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, citing lower costs, moving there himself in around 2004 after five years based in Singapore.[30]

iProperty Group (2006 to 2016)

In 2006, Grove founded iProperty Group, an online real estate classifieds business, investing an initial A$300,000 of his own money.[31] According to a 2015 BRW profile, Grove was turned down by 74 potential investors before a 75th meeting produced US$2 million in funding for a 10 per cent stake in the company.[32] iProperty Group, trading as IPGA Limited, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 11 September 2007, raising A$7.5 million by issuing shares at 25 cents each and debuting with a market capitalisation of A$25.6 million; the stock closed its first day at 27 cents. As executive chairman, Grove said the float "validates the company's decision to pursue an IPO in Australia, despite recent global volatility."[33]

Grove served as chairman as iProperty grew into a network of property portals across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong and other regional markets, with revenue reported at A$24 million in 2013.[34] BRW reported the business as worth about A$170 million in mid-2013 and about A$500 million by May 2015.[35][36]

REA Group, the News Corp-controlled Australian online real estate company, acquired iProperty Group, with the deal announced in November 2015 and completed in 2016. Reported values vary by outlet: Grove told the Straits Times the price was A$751 million, a 16-times return on his original A$300,000 stake, and said he would step down as chairman as a result of the sale; Digital News Asia later put the figure at approximately RM2.5 billion; Feature Asia reported US$530 million; and DealStreetAsia reported US$414 million.[37][38][39][40]

Rev Asia and Catcha Digital (2009 onward)

Catcha Group's Malaysian media and advertising business listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia as Catcha Media Berhad on 22 July 2011.[41] In October 2013, its subsidiaries merged with Says Sdn Bhd, owner of the social publishing platform Says.com, in a deal reported by BRW at RM60 million (US$23 million).[42] Catcha Media Berhad was renamed Rev Asia Berhad effective 25 June 2014, trading under the new stock short name REV; by then, the REV Asia business reached about 14 million people a month through brands including Says.com, Stuff, Prestige and Business Insider Southeast Asia (published under licence in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia).[43]

The company was rebranded again as Catcha Digital in 2021.[44] In March 2023, Grove was appointed chairman of Catcha Digital Berhad, a digital investment holding company listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, succeeding Larry Gan Nyap Liow, who stepped down under a corporate governance policy limiting independent directors to nine years' tenure; Gan had chaired Catcha Media Berhad's board as far back as 2011, when Grove sat on it as a director.[45][46][47] On his appointment, Grove said the company aimed "to make the right investments and acquisitions with great leaders of digital businesses to grow Catcha Digital into the next digital behemoth in the public markets."[48]

iCar Asia and the Carsome merger (2012 to 2022)

Grove founded iCar Asia, an online automotive classifieds company, and listed it on the Australian Securities Exchange in September 2012, on the same calendar date iProperty Group had listed five years earlier, raising an initial A$10 million.[49] iCar Asia built a network of automotive portals in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, including the acquisitions of Carlist.my, Autospinn and Mobil123.com.[50] In March 2013, the Australian classifieds group carsales.com paid about A$13 million for a 19.9 per cent stake in iCar Asia, by which time the company's market capitalisation was around A$100 million.[51][52]

In July 2021, Carsome Group agreed to partner with Catcha Group to take iCar Asia private in a transaction Forbes valued at US$200 million: under the structure, Carsome first bought 19.9 per cent of iCar Asia from Catcha in a share swap that made Catcha a Carsome shareholder, after which the two jointly acquired the remaining 80.1 per cent of iCar Asia.[53] Grove, then 46, said: "We are excited to join Carsome as shareholders and work with Eric [Cheng] and his team to expand our leadership position and look forward to helping the combined business dominate the $55 billion digital automotive space in Southeast Asia in the years ahead."[54] Forbes describes the share-swap process as completed across 2021 and 2022, contributing to Carsome's status as Malaysia's first unicorn (a privately held start-up valued above US$1 billion); Digital News Asia separately reported the value of Carsome's acquisition of iCar Asia at approximately RM850 million.[55][56]

Dealmates and Middle East investments (2011 onward)

In 2011, Catcha Group launched Dealmates.com, a Malaysian flash-sales website, as a joint venture with Intel Capital, in which Catcha held about 70 per cent, Intel Capital 25 per cent and management the remainder; by 2013 Grove described the business as growing quickly and said Catcha planned to reinvest a further US$3 million to $5 million in it and to expand it into Australia.[57] Catcha also became one of the largest shareholders in propertyfinder.ae, a United Arab Emirates real estate portal previously part-owned by REA Group, as part of a plan Grove announced in 2013 to invest US$150 million in Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern online businesses over five years.[58][59] By 2015, Catcha's wider portfolio also included stakes in property portals in the Middle East and Pakistan and the e-commerce venture Ensogo, alongside iProperty Group and iCar Asia.[60]

Frontier Digital Ventures (2014 onward)

In 2014, former iProperty Group executive Shaun Di Gregorio founded Frontier Digital Ventures, an investment firm built around minority stakes in online classifieds businesses in frontier and emerging markets, with backing from Grove's Catcha Group and from Private Portfolio Managers.[61] By early 2016, Frontier Digital Ventures had spent more than US$15 million buying stakes in classifieds sites operating in 18 countries, from Ghana to Myanmar to Pakistan, and had raised US$8 million in a December 2015 funding round at a valuation of close to US$50 million ahead of a planned listing.[62] Grove described Catcha's approach to Frontier Digital Ventures' investees in blunt terms: "FDV is not like the typical venture capital play, where we spray a lot of money around and hope a couple of winners pay for all the losers. We don't tolerate any failures."[63]

Frontier Digital Ventures listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 22 July 2016, raising A$25 million (US$18.7 million) with shares priced at A$0.50 and an opening market capitalisation of A$103.1 million; by then it held stakes in 15 operating companies across 19 markets.[64]

Grove's formal involvement in the company's governance intensified a decade after its founding: company records show he rejoined the Frontier Digital Ventures board as a director on 10 April 2025, was named chairman on 3 June 2025, and became executive chairman on 25 September 2025, a role he holds as of the time of writing.[65]

iflix (2015 to 2020)

Grove co-founded iflix in 2015, a subscription video-on-demand service aimed at emerging markets in Southeast Asia, South Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. It went on to raise more than US$300 million from investors and reported more than 25 million active users, and in 2019 was reportedly preparing an initial public offering in Australia that would have valued it at around US$1 billion, a listing that did not go ahead.[66]

In May 2020, iflix, by then facing significant accumulated losses, was sold to the Chinese technology company Tencent; Tencent said it had purchased the service's "content, technology, and resources" to expand its overseas streaming platform WeTV, and declined to disclose the price. Forbes later reported the deal was worth US$50 million, while Reuters cited sources describing it as worth "several tens of millions of dollars," a fraction of the valuation iflix had sought the previous year.[67][68]

Wild Digital and other ventures (2015 onward)

Also in 2015, Grove co-founded Wild Digital, a technology conference bringing together entrepreneurs, executives and investors in the Southeast Asian digital industry.[69] In March 2014, he was announced as a judge for the inaugural Talent Unleashed Awards, an Asia-Pacific technology competition organised by recruitment firm Talent International, alongside Richard Branson, Steve Wozniak and other entrepreneurs and executives; by that point Catcha Group's listed and unlisted online holdings were reported to exceed US$1 billion.[70]

Catcha Investment Corp and the Crown LNG merger (2021 to 2024)

In February 2021, Catcha Group sponsored the listing of Catcha Investment Corp, a Cayman Islands-incorporated special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), on the New York Stock Exchange, targeting technology businesses in Southeast Asia and Australia; Grove served as the vehicle's chairman and chief executive officer from its inception.[71]

In August 2023, Catcha Investment Corp signed a business combination agreement with Crown LNG Holding AS, a private Norwegian company developing floating liquefied natural gas import infrastructure, under which Crown LNG would become the publicly listed parent through a newly formed Jersey holding company, Crown LNG Holdings Limited.[72] Catcha's shareholders approved the transaction at an extraordinary general meeting on 12 June 2024, and the business combination completed on 9 July 2024, with the combined company beginning to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols CGBS and CGBSW.[73] Grove did not take a seat on the board of the combined company, which was instead composed of Swapan Kataria, Jørn S. Husemoen, Ellen Hanetho, Gry Osnes and Andrew Judson; Grove issued a statement describing Crown LNG as "a leader in the fast-growing LNG market" that was "well-positioned to capitalize on strong market tailwinds" as a public company.[74] Catcha Investment Corp deregistered its securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in October 2024, ending its existence as a standalone reporting company.[75]

Leadership and management style

Grove has repeatedly described Catcha's strategy as importing business models that had already succeeded in Western markets into Southeast Asia rather than inventing new ones: "When I was growing up and I looked at the wealthiest people in Asia, it was never anyone who invented anything. It was just someone who took an idea from the West and brought it to Asia ... I decided to do the same."[76] He has made a similar point about his own limits as an innovator: "I was never going to invent Facebook or Twitter. I come at [business] from the world of an accountant."[77]

Asked in 2005 about his character, Grove said persistence was both his greatest strength and a weakness, since it could tip into sticking with things "that really cannot be done"; he described drawing energy from spending time with driven people and named Richard Branson and Rupert Murdoch among those who inspired him.[78] A decade later, reflecting on the many setbacks behind his fortune, Grove told BRW: "I've always been a big believer, after studying entrepreneurs for some 30 years, that the key trait common among those that make it is not where they are from, or how much money they have or don't have ... The key common trait is perseverance. That innate ability to keep going when the end seems near, to never give up, to never stop, and to keep trying and trying until something finally works."[79]

Grove has described his portfolio companies' growth as coming disproportionately from acquisitions rather than organic expansion, saying in 2013 that Catcha and its affiliates had completed about 25 acquisitions in the preceding 12 years, a pace he said no other internet group in the world had matched, and that "in an industry that moves so fast, the way to get market share fast is to acquire rather than start from scratch."[80] At Frontier Digital Ventures, he described a stricter approach to portfolio companies, saying Catcha does "not tolerate any failures" among investees and expects to "teach" partner companies rather than write off underperformers as a venture-capital fund might.[81]

His email signature has been reported to describe his own title as "Chief Rockstar," and he has summarised his operating approach with the phrase "Go hard or go home."[82] Grove has also spoken about wanting to demonstrate that a large, globally competitive technology company can be built from within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) rather than imported from Silicon Valley: "For too long, all the Internet companies we consume are from other countries, from Silicon Valley, Europe. I want to prove that a great company can originate from ASEAN, that it can be global."[83]

In securities filings for Catcha Investment Corp, Grove's fellow directors and advisers credited his transaction experience and industry relationships, alongside those of Catcha Group co-founder Luke Elliott, with helping to source acquisition targets; the filing noted that Elliott had partnered with Grove for more than two decades, over which time the two had "brought six digital businesses from their early stages to a public listing or sale, worth over $1 billion in value."[84]

Major deals and strategic decisions

Grove's career has centred on a recurring pattern: founding or co-founding a Southeast Asian internet business, rebuilding it after early setbacks, listing it on a public exchange, and eventually selling or merging the business. Major transactions include:

  • The aborted 2000 initial public offering of Catcha.com on the Singapore Exchange, cancelled days before completion after the NASDAQ crash, which left the company owing an amount reported variously as roughly RM5 million or roughly US$2 million, and Grove's subsequent restructuring of the business into magazine publishing.[85][86]
  • The 11 September 2007 listing of iProperty Group on the Australian Securities Exchange, followed by the sale of iProperty Group to REA Group, announced in November 2015 and completed in 2016, valued at A$751 million according to Grove's own account to the Straits Times, with other outlets reporting figures from US$414 million to RM2.5 billion.[87][88]
  • The September 2012 listing of iCar Asia on the Australian Securities Exchange, carsales.com's March 2013 purchase of a 19.9 per cent stake, and the July 2021 agreement with Carsome Group to take iCar Asia private in a US$200 million share-swap transaction, completed across 2021 and 2022, which contributed to Carsome becoming Malaysia's first unicorn.[89][90]
  • The October 2013 merger of Catcha Media Berhad subsidiaries with Says Sdn Bhd, reported at RM60 million (US$23 million), which created the REV Asia digital media business and preceded the 2014 renaming to Rev Asia Berhad.[91][92]
  • The May 2020 sale of iflix's content, technology and resources to Tencent, reported at around US$50 million, a fraction of the roughly US$1 billion valuation iflix had sought for a planned 2019 listing.[93][94]
  • The 22 July 2016 listing of Frontier Digital Ventures on the Australian Securities Exchange, raising A$25 million.[95]
  • The February 2021 listing of Catcha Investment Corp on the New York Stock Exchange as a special purpose acquisition company, and its August 2023 business combination agreement with Crown LNG Holding AS, completed in July 2024.[96][97]
  • The March 2023 leadership change at Catcha Digital Berhad, where Grove took over as chairman from Larry Gan Nyap Liow.[98]

Financial and market performance

Public reporting on Grove's personal wealth shows a long climb interrupted by the dot-com crash and then a series of jumps tied to specific exits. BRW valued him at A$70 million on its 2012 Young Rich list; by the time the BRW Rich 200 debuted him at position 200 on 28 May 2015, his wealth was put at A$286 million.[99][100] Forbes put his net worth at US$365 million in June 2021, ranking him No. 45 on that year's Malaysia Rich List, and at US$345 million as of 16 April 2025.[101][102]

Catcha Group's overall portfolio of listed and unlisted online assets was reported at more than US$300 million in mid-2013 and had grown to more than US$1 billion by March 2014.[103][104] Within that portfolio, iProperty Group's market value rose from A$25.6 million at its September 2007 listing to about A$170 million in mid-2013 and about A$500 million by May 2015, before its sale to REA Group; iCar Asia's market capitalisation stood at about A$100 million in mid-2013.[105][106][107] iflix, by contrast, raised more than US$300 million from investors over its lifetime but was sold in 2020 for a reported US$50 million after running up significant losses.[108][109]

At Catcha Investment Corp, the SPAC Grove led as chairman and chief executive raised gross proceeds and held them in trust pending a transaction; the Crown LNG business combination proxy statement disclosed that Catcha's pre-combination directors and officers, including Grove, together beneficially owned 7,500,000 ordinary shares of Catcha before the transaction, equivalent to roughly 77 per cent of Catcha's outstanding shares at that time.[110]

Board memberships and outside roles

As of 2026, Grove holds the following principal roles:

  • Co-founder, chairman and group chief executive officer, Catcha Group.[111]
  • Chairman, Catcha Digital Berhad, since March 2023.[112]
  • Executive chairman, Frontier Digital Ventures, since September 2025 (director from April 2025, chairman from June 2025).[113]

He previously served as executive chairman of iProperty Group (IPGA Limited) and as chairman of iCar Asia during their periods as ASX-listed companies, as a director and later chairman of Catcha Media Berhad, and as chairman and chief executive officer of Catcha Investment Corp from its 2021 listing until the completion of its business combination with Crown LNG in July 2024.[114][115][116] In 2014, he served as a judge for the inaugural Talent Unleashed Awards alongside Richard Branson and Steve Wozniak.[117]

Personal life

Grove was born in Singapore to a Singaporean-Chinese mother and an Australian father, and holds Australian citizenship.[118][119] He lived in Singapore, the United States and Indonesia as a child before settling in Sydney for the final years of his schooling, and after university spent five years based in Singapore before relocating to Kuala Lumpur in around 2004, where he was still based two decades later.[120][121][122]

In June 2013, BRW reported that Grove had recently become engaged to Krista Kleiner, a Filipino-American singer and model.[123] By 2025, Forbes reported that he was married with four children.[124] Forbes has also reported that Grove owns a waterfront house in Darling Point, Sydney, valued at US$22 million.[125]

In 2005, Grove described sleep as his biggest personal frustration, saying he was getting six to seven hours a night but wanted to cut that to three or four; he named Richard Branson, Rupert Murdoch and Sean Combs among the public figures who inspired him.[126]

Recognition

Grove was named a Global Leader of Tomorrow by the World Economic Forum in 2001 and a New Asian Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2003; the Australian Chamber of Commerce, Singapore, named him its Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2004; and BusinessWeek included him in its Asia's Best Young Entrepreneurs list for 2008.[127][128] In 2014, he was a judge for the inaugural Talent Unleashed Awards, organised by recruitment firm Talent International, alongside Richard Branson and Steve Wozniak.[129] He was also listed as a finalist in Advance's Technology and Entrepreneurship Award, a recognition given by the Australian global diaspora organisation Advance to Australians working internationally.[130]
