How We Got There: Venture Capital
π Tue, 30 March 12:00 β 1:00 PM
β The venture industry has long been considered an olβ boys club. In the US, 65% of VC firms have zero women partners. Closer to home, KrAsia reviewed 34 VC firms active in South East Asia, and only 12 firms had a female partner on their investment teams. When firms lack visible women in leadership, they might underestimate - or even fail to spot - their next big investment.
They will discuss how they got started in their careers, what skills helped them succeed, and their tips for aspiring VCs. Weβll cover the business benefits of diversifying the investment team, and why this gives VC firms a competitive advantage.
Panelists:
β’ Shiyan Koh | Managing Partner, Hustle Fund
β’ Cheah Sui Ling | Operating Partner, Wavemaker Partners
β’ Jessica Huang Pouleur | Executive Director, Openspace Ventures
