ADDX Fireside Chat: The Venture Capital Tech-cceleration

Southeast Asia’s startups are on the verge of greatness with US$ 52 billion of Venture Capital invested in the past 10 years according to Crowdfund Insider. In the region, 10 unicorns have already been born since 2012. They include household names like Grab and Sea who have already seen valuations above US$ 35 billion. The region of over 650 million people has produced a gross merchandise value of US$ 100 billion in 2020 and its growing middle class is racing ahead despite covid-19’s hiccups.

With demand for the internet economy visibly accelerating, investors are demanding early access to Southeast Asia’s brightest startups.

How can we find the next unicorns when the odds of success are so slim?

We invite Co-founders & Managing Directors of TNB Aura, Charles Wong and Vicknesh Pillay, to share insights on how to identify potential star companies.

With experience in investing in more than 10 portfolio companies under their belt, Charles and Vicknesh will be sharing their valuable insights on the following topics:

• What are the prominent trends in the start-up scene in SEA?

• TNB Aura's Investment philosophy

• Why invest in SEA versus other regions?

• How to maximize win-rate and minimize risk?

Join industry experts from TNB Aura and ADDX for an exclusive fireside chat at 5-6pm on 3 June (Thursday) to learn more!
