Back in 2016, the duo established the Senreve brand, and their first carryall, the Maestra bag. Using premium quality Italian leather in a timeless design that is both stylish and incredibly functional, the Maestra became an instant hit. We chat with the entrepreneurs to learn how they turned a simple idea into a successful startup business.

Wouldn’t it be great to know the optimal diet that successfully makes you lose weight? Or understand your skin’s natural ability to combat wrinkles and be able to strengthen that ability? Or even better, detect that you have a high risk of cancer and be able to prevent rather than treat it?

The good news you can do all these things and more -- all it takes is a simple saliva swab.

We’re talking about Circle DNA, the world’s most comprehensive DNA test that delivers over 500 personalised reports on categories such as disease risk, food sensitivity, and even your personality and behavioural traits. It’s backed by Chinese stars G.E.M., Gigi Leung, and Vanness Wu, and it might just be the health and wellness solution of the future.

We decided to delve a little deeper and met up with CEO and Co-founder Danny Yeung to find out more. Read on to discover how he started, what it takes to be in the genetic-testing industry and most importantly, does it actually work?

Name: Danny Yeung
Profession: CEO and Co-founder of Circle DNA (Prenetics)
Industry: Genetic Testing
Startup since: 2014

Tell us about your business in your own words.

With a simple saliva sample you can uncover different things about yourself -- your genetic blueprint. Things like how to optimise your diet and nutrition, stress profile, pharmacogenetics (your response to drugs), as well as more serious items related to health. It can identify your genetic risk for cancers and diseases: dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s. Even for family planning: if you’re looking to have a child, you can check if you or your partner have any genetic conditions that may or may not pass on to your unborn baby.

You can have a full profile of yourself so you can understand what you need to watch out for, areas that need attention and areas that can be optimised -- it’s optimised wellbeing.

We are focused on health and prevention. We believe everyone should have the power to understand this information. And once you have this information, this is where you can make changes to your diet and lifestyle, ultimately delaying diseases and cancers.

[caption id="attachment_165700" align="alignnone" width="2560"] There are four different Circle DNA test kits that range from HK$1,490 to HK$4,990[/caption]

What’s behind the name Circle DNA?

Circle of life! It’s our direct consumer genetics testing brand, so we wanted to have a name that people would relate to and can remember, and ultimately understand what we do straight away.

Tell me about your best and worst days at work?

The best days are when we launch a product, or when we interview passionate potential employees that eventually join us. New partnerships or distribution deals, too. These are good days. But I do think that we make good progress every day, so I guess, they’re all good days. Ultimately what drives us is that we are making a difference for society. We’re making a difference to someone’s health, to their family and potentially the next generation.

I don’t know if there is a worst day. I have a very optimistic viewpoint naturally. It’s something that comes with being an entrepreneur, I think. Every day has its ups and downs; the challenge is how you get through them.

What do you do when you’re not at work?

When I’m not at work, I like to spend time with my daughter. She’s five years old. We like to take her out to play. Recently, we’ve been spending a lot of time on the South Side and we go to the beach.

[caption id="attachment_165705" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Yeung with his daughter[/caption]

Is that how you ‘switch off’?

Not really. As an entrepreneur, you always have to be switched on. So throughout my life, or at least in the last 15 years since becoming an entrepreneur, it’s been a big part of me, always making sure I’m available. So I never switch off fully.

I look at things with a very logical and optimistic perspective so I don’t get stressed much, either. I try not to dwell on things, especially things I can’t control.

Looking back now, what would you have done differently?

Everything that we have done is part of the learning process. Do I regret anything? No. We’re moving in the right direction. The reason we launched Circle [DNA] now, as opposed to 4, 3 or 2 years ago, is because health and wellness has only become a much bigger topic in the last year or two. People are more aware now. So launching now, people already have a good idea.

What advice would you give to someone looking to start up?

In the health industry, you have to be a little more patient. It takes time to gain traction. Also, there are certain regulatory aspects, government approvals, lab certifications and a lot of different things that you have to do properly. At the end of the day, it’s about people’s health, so you want to make sure you’re doing everything you can to make sure you’re providing the best information to people.

Also, you need to have different stakeholders. Different partners. People that can help get the word out about health. You need to have different parties involved.

Lastly, find out your unique selling proposition, whatever business you’re in. If you don’t have one, then you shouldn’t go into business. A lot of people don’t realise that.

As a child, what did you aspire to be?

Actually, I always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I knew that I wanted to have my own business. I didn’t know that it would be this, but I knew I wanted to do my own thing. That’s why I started working really young. I started when I was 15! Or at least that's when I was getting paid. I started working at a baseball card shop when I was 12 and the owner paid me in baseball cards.

What has been your biggest hurdle and how did you overcome it?

I wouldn’t say hurdle, but the biggest challenge, even now, is education. There’s still a lot of misinformation about what genetic testing can do. There’s are people who are like, “I don’t want to know” because they think it’s like a paternity test. But the technology has evolved to be much more than that, so awareness and education for genetic testing is still very important.

We’ve been able to do that somewhat, and have utilised three celebrities -- G.E.M., Vanness [Wu] and Gigi Leung -- who have come on board as our ambassadors. G.E.M., who is also an investor of the company, is putting her own personal name on it. It helps to create awareness, but it’s a continuous challenge. We’re still quite new to this space. I mean, in the US, roughly 8% of the population have done a genetic test. Here, in Asia, it’s only about 0.08%. So you can see the growth opportunity is massive.

Why is Hong Kong such an important market for Circle DNA?

I think Hong Kong is a great place. It’s like the hub between China and Southeast Asia, the connector. I also think Hong Kong is a challenging business environment. If you can survive and succeed here, you should be able to succeed anywhere else. It’s fast-paced and people are passionate here, too.

[caption id="attachment_165702" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Yeung with G.E.M., an investor and ambassador of Circle DNA[/caption]

If you were to invest in another start up, which would it be?

I think there are a lot of innovations in health and AI. Better solutions. There is still a lot of opportunity here. For instance turning something invasive into non-invasive. These are areas that are worth looking into.

What are your goals for 2019? And in the near future?

We are putting further effort into Circle DNA. Last month, we announced a major and exclusive partnership with Watsons where you can walk into any of the stores in Hong Kong and buy our product.

We’re looking to launch in Singapore and Taiwan next year as well, not to mention expanding our business in China. As for new products on the market, that’ll be next year, too.

How do you define success? And do you consider yourself successful?

There may be people that already consider me successful, but I don’t look at it that way. I still feel we have a very long way to go. We’re maybe at 1% of where we should be, but it has been a great journey thus far. We’ve been making the right strategic moves, we have the right investors, the right partnerships and the right business model. Now, we have to just scale and execute.

Ultimately we want to impact millions of people here in Asia. Once we reach a million people, then I might say, “Hey, we’re on to something”. But after that, I’ll have more goals.

With other genetic tests on the market, how does Circle DNA compare with the others?

For our technology, the first thing to note is that we utilise whole exome sequencing, while our competitors utilise a technology called genotyping. The problem with genotyping is you’re only looking at a snip of a gene. You’re not looking at the whole gene, so you’re likely to miss a lot. In fact, a recent study revealed that genotyping companies have a 85% false positive rate. Which means if they provide any positive results, 85% of the time, it’s wrong.

Meanwhile, our test has also been externally validated by CUHK, the Croucher Laboratory for Human Genomics, for analytical accuracy at 99.9%. Accuracy to determine that gender mutation does exist in your body.

Do you have examples of people that Circle DNA has worked on?

I’m a prime example. About three years ago, I actually detected that I have an increased risk of colon cancer. So of course, I was quite scared and shocked because I don’t have a family history of cancer. In fact, 40-50% of people who have genetic mutations do not have a history.

It was because of that risk that I modified my diet and lifestyle. I cut out red meat and lost over 20 pounds over the last 3 years. And I also started early screening at 37 years of age. I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t get those results. I would have most likely waited until age 50, which is the global recommendation for screening. But for someone like me with an increased risk, that may have been too late for me.

So will I live longer if I take the test?

That’s a bold statement to make, but I can certainly say that our tests can definitely delay or help people to prevent diseases and cancers, therefore saving lives.

UK based Chinese pianist and composer Rosey Chan just released a series of 6 new singles, Mindful Piano (under Apple-owned record label Platoon).

Singer songwriter Sting produced her debut album ONE in 2010 and today her work ranges from classical to contemporary, blues and electronica. Having played the likes of the Royal Albert Hall, Serpentine Galleries and for the HK Design Trust Gala, the prolific collaborator cleverly merges music with the worlds of dance, architecture, design and film.

Singer/actress Josie Ho and Ferrari’s new Roma don’t seem like the most obvious match. Granted she could easily stroll into the local Ferrari showroom and snap up its entire stock outright, straight off the floor.

But for a performer who, in a more than 25-year career in the music and movie industries, has developed a reputation as a rule-breaking iconoclast with a persona that’s more cyber- or steampunk than traditional showbiz glitz and which belies her privileged background, isn’t the elegant new coupé – so new, in fact, that at the time of shooting we have to keep the car shielded from public view -- just a little too svelte? Heck, does she even drive?

[bc_video video_id="6170286153001" account_id="5537314740001" player_id="HkciYHERZ" embed="in-page" padding_top="56%" autoplay="" min_width="0px" playsinline="" picture_in_picture="" max_width="640px" mute="" width="100%" height="100%" ]

It turns out that not only does Ho have more than a little experience at the wheel of a motor car, having learned as a youngster how to drift a humble Honda Civic through the corkscrew turns of Hong Kong’s south side in the early ’90s, but she can also claim a brief (if from her own account somewhat hair-raising) career on the race track, competing in celebrity women’s events at the Macau Grand Prix and even getting to grips with open-wheel formula cars on the circuit at Zhuhai. On her first Macau outing she crashed out – “I didn’t know a thing about racing and apexes,” she says, “and I was obviously going too fast when I came to a big right-hand turn and crashed the car head-on into a wall” – but her second attempt was more successful.

“I had [former racing driver] Michael Lui as my coach and he’s seriously nuts,” she tells us mischievously, as she painstakingly applies her own make-up for our photo shoot, a process that seems to take forever. “We had some training and he’s, like, ‘You don’t have to worry, you have to find the apex and get the right angle to ease out of the turn, find your straight line as soon as possible and slow down before the 100-metre sign, brake heavily, stay on the left and then go round to the right.’ So, I was doing that … and suddenly a car hit us on the side. It was a Miss Hong Kong. So, I’m like, “All right, Miss Hong Kong. Let’s kill her!” She’s my friend but she did it on purpose.

“So, we chased her down the road and my coach put his leg over mine and put his foot on the pedals, so I was steering, and he was accelerating and braking. Finally, there was a big, big turn, and she was catching up to me and you know what we did? I was on the left and she was coming up, trying to squeeze me up against the wall. She tried to kill me twice! So, my coach opened the door and kicked them, so they went off and I came in second that year.”

This was roughly the time when Ho was taking her first steps towards fulfilling an ambition to become a singer, after she’d returned to Asia from school in Canada. Although her parents were initially reluctant, she was gradually able to win them over, not least because of the support she received from big sister Pansy.

“I signed my first contract at the age of 18 in the chairman’s office in Shun Tak Centre with my father, [sisters] Pansy, Daisy and Maisy, [brother] Lawrence and my cousins all there,” Ho recalls. “It was like a huge celebration – like, ‘Oh my God, she’s sold!’ Jackie Chan and [the late Malaysian-born film producer] Willie Chan and Jonathan Lee from Rock Records also came – like, ‘You’re gonna take care of my daughter, please.’ And they really took good care of me. My dad thought it was a very terrible idea, so Pansy was, like, the guarantor. All my brothers and sisters supported me, but she got the say. She strongly convinced my father to let me do this, because she knows all these big stars and that there’s nothing dirty about this industry unless your daughter wants to take it.

“I’d just come out of high school and I had culture shock coming back to Hong Kong. I wasn’t wearing a bra! And people were staring at me like, ‘Oh my God, who is she?’ I came back from Canada in the early ’90s and it was a time when mini tees, tight mini tees, was a trend and it was like, no bra please, you’re young enough to pull it off. People dressed very modestly back then. I didn’t know I [looked like a] street walker, I thought I was cool with my jean shorts and Dr Martens.”

Her career as a songbird, which officially kicked off in 1994 with an album called Rebel (and which in reality was anything but rebellious), never really gained the kind of traction she wanted until around 10 years later, by which time she’d reinvented herself as the indie rocker she is now. She took voice lessons, and at one point was even fired by her record company.

“It took a while for me,” says Ho, “but I really did crack it because I had good mentors. I signed to a pop company in the ’90s and they said, ‘Josie, try to be as minimal as you can be.’ They wanted a clean palette and they didn’t want me to be wild – they’re releasing [music by] five clean palettes and they want to see which is popular. If you’re popular, they’ll spend money on you and make you bigger. So it’s a real competitive life I’ve been living.

“I’ve never been one to listen, so I’d crawl out and they’re like, ‘Oh my God. Oh my God …’ I was told off about my singing as well. I wasn’t that good back then because I didn’t have a good teacher. I wasn’t using my real voice, and I was doing falsetto all the time and it didn’t go into the microphone well.”

In parallel with her road to musical self-discovery was an embryonic career as an actress. Realising that she’d be unlikely to get a second chance if she messed it up, she went out and bought “a lot of books about how to be an actor – Stanislavski, Chekhov etc. At the time I was doing a stage play with a serious art-installation group and during rehearsals I learned about the basics of drama, and I’d bring those tricks to my films.”

After taking a succession of small parts in local ’90s movies (her first cinematic outing was in the 1994 comedy, Victory), Ho’s breakout role came while playing alongside Daniel Wu in the 1999 Teddy Chan-directed Purple Storm, for which she received best supporting actress nominations in the Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards. “[It was] a heavy action film and back then I was really fit,” she says, “so I’d do all my stunts and fight with my stuntman. I’d go after him, check out what he’s doing and I’d be like, ‘I can do it too.’ A good artist has to have the passion and joy to love what they’re doing and that will automatically bring them to be a more serious player.”

By the early 2000s it was as if Ho had found herself both as a singer and an actress. As a singer, she talks about the inspiration she gained from Madonna, as well as from her actor/rapper/producer husband Conroy Chan, whom she married in 2003.
“The company I was signed to before told me not to move at all, so I was confused – like Madonna moves, everybody moves, even Talking Heads move,” she says, incredulously. “Madonna was one of my first inspirations because of her work ethic – how she could go to New York with 10 bucks in her pocket and she was eating garbage and she made it.

“I read a lot of books about her, so I knew her attitude. I knew if I wanted something I had to work very hard, I just didn’t know how to work out the big corporates, the politics, but then I became independent after taking advice from my husband – because he’s a heavy-metal head – and LMF, this heavy-metal, hip-hop rap group. They were like, ‘Hey Josie, why are you playing video games up at our studio? Why are you acting? Aren’t you a singer? We thought you were pretty cool for a singer. We’re recording a song and we need a chorus, we’ll tell you if you can sing, come on, come in,’ and they gave me a chance and they were like, ‘Yeah you can sing, we’re going to talk to so and so.’

“I told them that no record companies wanted me, and they were like, ‘Oh yeah? We’ll try, we’ll talk to a record company tomorrow,’ and after they heard about what they wanted to do with me, as well as Davy, the producer of LMF, they were like, yes! Before that, I never understood what I really liked – before I thought I liked acid jazz and soul funk. My Taiwanese company let me sing some of that, but I always thought it was missing something, that it wasn’t heavy enough. I started listening to Metallica, Linkin Park etc., and I felt like I’d found my niche.”

Likewise, Ho’s cinematic career exhibited a new-found confidence, with leading roles in Takashi Mike’s Dead or Alive: Final (2002), set in a futuristic Yokohama, Dante Lam and Donnie Yen’s 2003 vampire fantasy The Twins Effect and the well-received Hong Kong drama Butterfly (2004), which opened the Venice Film Festival and brought her a Golden Bauhinia best actress nomination.

In 2007, she and husband Chan founded their production company 852 Films. “Our whole motto is to bring East and West together,” says Ho. “We don’t care who we work with, we just want to introduce our Eastern culture and rituals to the West and we want to introduce the Western side to Asia, so we understand each other better. But due to the current situation in Hong Kong, I think it’s better to venture into Hollywood for now. We’re still trying to do some Hong Kong films, but we still don’t really understand the laws just yet, like how much they’re going to control our freedom of speech and inspiration and all that, so we’re kind of taking a step back and playing it very safe.”

Among 852’s recent projects is the soon-to-be-released Rajah, a Hollywood biopic of Sir James Brooke, the 19th-century British adventurer who became the first White Rajah on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo, in which Ho stars alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Dominic Monaghan. She recounts an issue she had during the filming of a scene in which her character, who plays Brooke’s former lover, finds a half-dead Myers crawling into the compound and speaks to him in Chinese-accented English, which she thought at the time was inappropriate.

“He’s like, ‘Can you not speak so loudly? You have a mic on your body.’ And I said, ‘But there’s a difference in distance,’ and he said, ‘This is the new way in Hollywood, we don’t scream.’ And I said, ‘I wasn’t screaming, I was just talking loud.’ So they tried to cut off my lines and I was furious. It was like 5am after the night I arrived, and we’d had to wake up and shoot the ending. I’d never met the actors before and suddenly here we were finishing the film at the beginning.”

“That was the first time I broke my own rule, [because] I never yell at people on the street. I finally asked the producer to come out, because they all came into my room and they were saying, ‘Josie, when you failed those two lines you wasted half an hour of our time and blah, blah, blah, blah,’ and I was like, ‘I’m paying for it. I’m taking a big risk here’ They were like, ‘Can you trade lines with this other role, this Indonesian guy?’ and I was like, ‘I pay money and I trade?’ I wanted to speak nicely and talk reason with him, and he was being a little bit racially discriminating and I just went crazy, and I slammed my hands on the table. I told him I’d just talked to my lawyer and he’d given me the right to look at all of the contracts, so I wanted to know in which contract it was allowed to change my lines. And he was kind of shell-shocked.”

Ho had already noticed how many of the local extras and crew had to sit around in the hot sun, while the lead actors at least had a tent with a fan to retreat to. So she asked the producer, “‘Do you have any problems with Asians, because it looks like to me, you’re trying to shoot this story about Asian people and you’re not treating them right, and you’re asking me to swap my lines with somebody? What are you going to give me in return?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, nothing.’ So I was like, ‘No. No way man.’ I argued with him and then in the end I still speak English and they’ve already sacrificed my entrance scene by asking me to speak Cantonese with Jonathan, because Jonathan thought it would be more convincing that he knows another language than Sarawakian. They asked if I could speak the whole scene in Cantonese and I said, ‘That’s a joke, maybe one line,’ and then we started speaking in English again. I never act like that in Hong Kong. I was uncontrollable – I slammed my hand on the table, like that’s enough!” I was sitting in the centre of the James Brooke Trust [near Kuching] and all the actors were walking past, and they were like oh f…, something’s wrong.”

Aside from Rajah, Ho lets us in on other 852 projects in the pipeline. “There’s this rock ’n’ roll badass film called Habit,” she says. “It’s basically crazy nuns chased by this fetish couple, which is myself and [The Kills guitarist] Jamie Hince. In the movie he’s really afraid of me, pathetic and kind of gangsterish with this insect fetish, and torturing these nuns who are half-innocent girls who are trying to make a life in LA. My plans have been delayed a little bit due to the virus – the shooting’s all done, but it’s in post-production. I might also have the chance to work with Charlotte Gainsbourg and it would be a very interesting thing – a film called Jodie and we’ve been talking to Bruce Wagner and Mike Figgis.”

And then there’s her band, Josie & The Uni Boys, which is still kicking out the jams some 13 years after the five-piece got together. “In a rock gig, you’re the clown or the king,” she says. “It’s up to you how you want to be – you choose yourself. I’ve chosen a really crazy wild style. I like to yell a lot, and get on the ground and roll around, it’s my Madonna thing, crawling on the ground. I don’t care if I make a fool of myself, because I love it, I get a kick out of it because that’s real performance. It’s real art to be a little bit out of control because if you always restrict yourself then you’ll never develop another level.

“My family’s not about that, my family’s all about discipline, not looking bad in front of people. Only once in my life, when I got fired, my mom took me in my room – she seldom does this – to have a serious talk, and she said, ‘Didn’t you get accepted into FIDM [the Los Angeles Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing]? You got accepted for spatial and fashion design. Maybe you should think about going back and stay out of the media.’

“That would be a nightmare,” says Ho with a laugh, “I’d probably kill myself. But now, even 20 years since she said that to me, now at this age because of all the design work of posters, record covers, film posters and all that, I should have done it! Then I’d have total control. Who’s criticising this poster? I can draw something else!”

With that, the rebellious Ho, who flips every Hong Kong rich-girl stereotype on to its head, makes her way down to our makeshift studio in the basement of the Ferrari showroom. “I love the car,” she says on first sight of the Roma. “If you lend it to me for an hour, I can probably show you and myself how I can really run this monster.”
