Description
Book SynopsisAngel investment and finance have been spreading from Silicon Valley to other parts of the world, including Asia, at an accelerating pace. Yet there have been few attempts to document this phenomenon and examine the hows and whys of startup financing in the region. Angel Financing in Asia Pacific addresses this knowledge gap by approaching the subject matter from two angles. First, from a journalistic angle, it aims to capture the current status and recent developments in a number of countries or territories in Asia. In each country report, the respective author(s) trace the background, trends, and future outlook of technology and innovation driven developments and related angel investment activities. The second part of the book takes a more analytical and prescriptive angle to the subject; making recommendations, providing analysis, and suggesting new approaches to startup financing in the Asia Pacific region.
Trade ReviewEditors Lo, Mooney, and Wu present readers with a collection of academic essays and scholarly articles investigating the contemporary status of angel investing in startups throughout the Asia Pacific region. The editors have organized the contributions that make up the main body of the text in four parts devoted to the angel investment scene across the Asia Pacific region, an angel financing guide for investors and entrepreneurs, the rationale and future for angel investing in Asia Pacific. John Y. Lo is a lawyer and independent scholar in Hong Kong. Patrick Mooney is with Accelerating Commercialization and Impact Tech Ventures, Australia. Po Chi Wu is a faculty member of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. -- Annotation ©2016 * (protoview.com) *
