Venture Capital in Asia

This book is one of the first to analyze the development

of private equity, to include venture capital

and business angel investing in emerging Southeast

Asian economies of Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam,

Indonesia, and China. The author analyzes the investment

strategies of both types of private equity investors

who face significant challenges when investing

in emerging economies lacking the legal and financial

institutions needed to support effective private equity

investing.

With the author’s detailed field research in Southeast

Asia, as well as recent private equity research

in China, you’ll learn about investment strategies

(whether you’re a venture capitalist or business angel)

in emerging markets. This investment strategy is

based on significant networking that is used to build

social capital, in-depth due diligence, and hands-on

post-investment monitoring.
