Nothing Ventured…Nothing Gained: Navigating Asian Venture Capital Markets

FEG Insight Bridge

FEG’s Approachable Asia 2020 event was scheduled for this fall in Singapore, where we planned on venturing abroad to learn first-hand about the unique challenges and opportunities of international investing in a board room setting. Our goal was to provide clients the opportunity to meet with top investment and economic leaders, including local asset managers and companies.

With travel and in-person events being halted due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have opted to offer the same content through our Approachable Asia podcast series.

In this episode, we chat with two of China’s elite venture capital investors, Jenny Lee with GGV Capital and Tommy Yip from Unicorn Capital Partners.

Topics covered include:

• Where the next Alibaba, Tencent, JD, and Xiomi will come from?
• How rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China have affected fund selection and IPO listings?
• What is the relative importance of valuation in choosing funds?
• What industries seem the most promising for venture capital?
• Why the India market is on the rise and is a potential bright spot for investors?
• How the pandemic has impacted deal activity and performance?
