Startup investing from Japan to Singapore with KK Fund

The RISE Offstage podcast with Casey Lau highlights chats with community leaders, startup founders and investors across Asia about their startup ecosystems and how they are facing new challenges and new opportunities.

On this episode I welcome Koichi Saito and Kuan Hsu the co-founders and general partners of KK Fund. These two investors have worked in Japanese venture capital and now through their own fund are investing in startups in various verticals from e-Sports to AutoTech to InsurTech and more across South East Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong .

This is a truly pan-asian conversation as we talk about the Japanese, South East Asian and Singaporean startup scenes and what KK Fund look to invest in, and what they see happening post-pandemic in this exciting market they have been helping to build.
