Shaun Hon
aka
Honnington
Shaun is the Founder and General Partner of Motion Ventures, a venture capital fund focused on catalysing digital and energy transitions across global supply chains. Motion Ventures was founded in 2021, drawing on his background as an engineer and investor to address the critical challenges facing the maritime industry. Before Motion Ventures, Shaun held a key role as an Investment Principal at TRIVE, where he led venture investments in B2B technology companies. His technical expertise was honed through hands-on engineering roles, including designing electric vehicles for Amazon, BMW, and Ford, and optimising well flow performance at Royal Dutch Shell. Shaun’s journey from the halls of Imperial College London - where he somehow managed to earn a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering with First Class Honours and even picked up the Faculty of Engineering Award - to the forefront of venture capital has been driven more by his uncanny knack for pulling off what he likes to call ‘just-in-time delivery’ than anything else. Shaun’s been recognised by Forbes 30 under 30, Prestige 40 under 40, Tatler’s Gen.T Leaders of Tomorrow, and The Peak Next Gen 2021. He’s also been navigating life with dyslexia and probably ADHD (he meant to get it confirmed, but something more interesting came up).
