Want to learn how to navigate the venture landscape in Asia?
The Hong Kong Venture Capital & Private Equity Association will be holding its first ever forum on June 13th to teach you how.
Veteran speakers include Tytus Michalski of Fresco Capital Advisors, Simon Squibb of Nest Ideas, Melissa Guzy of Arbor Ventures and Charles Ng of InvestHK.
Exploring topics on mobile internet, the local ecosystem and the future of venture capital for Hong Kong startups, these investment gurus will provide a blueprint on the past and present of the VC industry. See the full speaker list here.
In 2014 alone, we’ve celebrated many success stories in fundraising and acquisitions for our Hong Kong startups. While Viss, AliveNotDead.com, Taxiwise and Divide all have had successful exits, Spacious.HK and AfterShip secured a Seed and Series A round respectively.
As our local startup scene matures, it’ll become increasingly important for entrepreneurs to brush up on their knowledge of Asia’s venture environment and learn how to take full advantage of it.
