🦄 Unicorn from a social enterprise? At Anchor Taiwan's 13th Women in Venture Roundtable, we were so inspired by the sharing of Joan Yao, VP at Kickstart Ventures - CVC of Globe Telecom / Ayala Group. She touched upon:
.
▧ Impact investing: it's a spectrum
▧ Story of #Gojek: tech as an enabler
▧ Opportunities in SE Asia: content, e-commerce, fintech
▧ Corporate Venturing: investment focuses for Kickstart
... and so much more!
.
🎥 What the full replay: https://youtu.be/MAvvs1qlQYE
.
A big shoutout for SEMI 國際半導體產業協會 for supporting diversity and inclusion in our ecosystem. Humbling to gathering a room of investors from leading funds again! Until next time. 🙌
