HKIPX had a opportunity attending an event hosted by the famous VC brand in Silicon Valley. Timothy Draper said 20 years ago when he established a network to connect independent VC firms to Silicon Valley, he could not have imagined the life-changing outcomes that would result. He met talented investors and entrepreneurs and been involved in groundbreaking investments — Baidu and Skype to name a few. From a collection of small US funds in the 1990s, the Network expanded internationally with member funds today operating in 30 cities across 4 continents. More than 600 portfolio companies have been funded by Network funds and there have been over 200 successful outcomes with more to come. Most importantly, members have formed valuable relationships, not only with their core team in Silicon Valley but also with one another. In our ever-globalized industry, this has proven to be of tremendous benefit to the funds and their portfolio companies.

The 136th Investment Conference of the National Investment Banking Association (NIBA)

This must-attend event provided unique opportunities for broker dealers, investment bankers, fund managers, RIAs, and capital market service providers to make valuable industry connections. Our event showcased private and public companies seeking access to the financial industry. NIBA conferences take the “road out of road-show.” NIBA had the privilege of Mr. Colin WU, chairman of the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Exchange to deliver a key-note speech on Financing through Your Intellectual Properties. In-depth one-on-one meetings with him for the interested parties are available. Don’t miss the next NIBA conference!
