Lawrence Ng

Lawrence Ng is an entrepreneur and business executive, best known as the co-founder and former CEO of Oversee.net, a 2000s-era company that specialized in domain services and internet marketing services. Early life and ownership of Oversee.net Ng immigrated from Hong Kong at the age of 3 and was raised in New York City. He grew up in relative poverty and was homeless until the age of 5. He recounted in a 2023 interview that he worked more than a dozen jobs before he turned 18 to make ends meet. He was admitted to Pace University in 1996, and later transferred to the University of Southern California, where he received a degree in business. In 1999, shortly after graduating, he began his career at a company called Startpath, a traditional ad network. It was here that he met his future business partner, Fred Hsu. Following the end of the dot-com bubble in 2000, Startpath went under, and Hsu and Ng jointly launched Oversee.net. Among other ventures, the company was engaged in domain name trading.
