UBS Tech Connect Dialogue Series with Carmen Yuen

How is investment like a cup of Chinese Pu'erh tea? In a recent conversation with Steve, a Director with UBS Global Banking on Tech Connect's The Eye in Investing, our General Partner, Carmen Yuen draws a parallel between investing and the traditional Chinese tea, Cang Nian Pu'erh.

Why Pu'erh? Much like this unique tea that can be enjoyed at any time and throughout one's life, investment too weaves its way across the different stages of a company's lifecycle. Just as Pu'erh's health benefits retain loyal drinkers, investments too should aim to provide lasting benefits to attract steadfast support from investors.

Transitioning into 2023, Carmen highlights six core investment themes, reflecting our team’s understanding of growth opportunities within the Southeast Asian and Indian markets. However, in this evolving environment what are the fundamental hurdles for startups, and how can they be navigated?

For a comprehensive understanding, and to explore the profound insights and strategies that Carmen brings to the table, we invite you to watch the full interview here.
