Eric Lai

Eric Lai is the Director of Operations at Flow Entertainment Limited, a startup he founded in 2018.1 Flow is a booking platform that allows travelers to book hotel stays for as little as two hours, providing flexibility for short business trips and daytime stays.1 The platform focuses on 3-5 star hotels and offers instant bookings.1

Eric created Flow out of frustration with having to pay for full-night stays when he only needed a room for a few hours during short business trips.1 The company has received approximately US$1 million in funding.1

Before founding Flow, Eric worked as a Risk Consultant at Deloitte.2 He graduated from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.24

Flow is expanding its services beyond Hong Kong to other Southeast Asian countries.3 The platform aims to save customers money by allowing them to book only the time they need, rather than paying for a full day.4
