3..5-Nov-2015: Come to meet me at Hong Kong AVCJ Forum

Welcome to the 28th Annual AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Forum!

Prof. Yesha Sivan participates in The Venture Capital Summit which is a 1-day event being held on the 3rd November 2015. A one-day interactive programme addressing the key trends affecting the venture capital industry across Asia.

I will talk on the panel The global dragon hunt: Tracking down tomorrow’s trailblazing entrepreneurs (Tuesday, November 3 at 11.45am – 12.30pm.)
Every VC is on the lookout for the next bright young things with game-changing innovations. Yet VCs have to wade through a myriad of underdeveloped ideas, unproven concepts, and inspired commercial inspirations, all the time vying with their peers to strike the best early stage deals. What sets apart the true VC leaders who can predict technologies that win tomorrow’s markets to create the future Fortune 500, and can they really only succeed through a global trek to find the best of the best?

  • How do the best entrepreneurs and opportunities differ by region, and are incubators, tech hubs and university campuses the best place to encounter them?
  • Do great innovative companies grow, evolve, and build talent for the long haul by snapping up other successful start-ups?
  • Why do inspired, creative, independent minds choose to work with VCs?
  • Is the fast pace of innovation across IT, mobile communications, social media and the internet of things simply overloading VCs?
  • How is competition from the big name tech firms affecting VCs ability to win deals at a realistic valuation?

The AVCJ Forum is the leading private equity and venture capital event in Asia.
