Country Head Stories — Jian Loong Low, Southeast Asia

Our Head of Primary Markets, Jian, shares his thoughts on why he thinks Funderbeam is the future.

Not all businesses are created equal. Some target large markets with the potential for a 50x return. Others target segments with predictable revenue pipelines and lower probabilities of failure.

But certain factors persist across successful businesses: the leaders are determined; the teams have the right skills and attitude; the markets are right. We, at Funderbeam, spend a lot of time searching for these success factors in founders and their businesses.

On the other hand, investors have preferred the relative privacy and terms of private markets funding, although at the expense of liquidity.

We have noticed a recent change in attitude. Prominent investors want to expand the network of investors in deals and at the same time as company founders want a broad investor base who can offer strategic value.

Funderbeam nurtures a delicate balance of investor access and liquidity along with the spirit of entrepreneurship and is creating something valuable for both companies and investors with whose goals we are aligned.

At Funderbeam we see it as our collective responsibility to find amazing founders and share their journeys with our community. Our mission is to support their vision.
