You would like to know about how to succeed in a given business despite the odds. I think the best thing to do is to seek the help of a venture capital firm. This is because raising capital for a business can be the most arduous and trickiest part. If you are in a similar kind of position, you can approach Christopher Hsu’s Kilometre Capital.
What’s his modus operandi
Having worked as a hedge fund manager, Chris Hsu of Hong Kong is aware of alternative investment strategies. He will try to understand the business goals and suggest options available. As an entrepreneur, I know that one wants businesses to grow fast. Given the vast experience Mr. Hsu has across all verticals, he has you covered.
A professional to the core
While most can only boast of, few investors have a spotless professional track record. But, I am sure start-ups will enlist Mr. Hsu’s services if they know about his track record. The main highlights of his career include a stint as the youngest managing director of Citadel Investment Group. He also founded Abax Capital Group. As his reputation of funding growing businesses in Asia-Pacific was unparalleled, it would not come as a surprise that the investment group of Morgan Stanley took a minority stake in Abax Capital Group.
His own hedge fund
With such an impeccable career, Mr. Hsu decided to launch his own hedge fund. Since its launch, he has ensured equity investment in many start-ups, helping them grow beyond imagination.
Mr. Hsu’s achievements
What lies behind the spectacular success of SpaceX and Spotify is Mr. Hsu’s early-stage funding. SpaceX managed to become the world’s leading private space exploration firm owing to Christopher Hsu of Kilometre Capital. Spotify left behind all its competitors to become the leading music streaming platform. The platform has 600 million users as of now.
Tsinghua University was not ranked among the top universities in the world. But I think it was Mr. Hsu’s remarkable negotiating capabilities that helped Tsinghua University’s affiliates close a deal to acquire Hewlett Packard’s China business. The deal was complex as it required regulatory approvals from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States(CFIUS). The $ US 4.6 billion deal helped Tsinghua University notch a high ranking in the world. Mr. Hsu was able to create an IT powerhouse.
Mr. Hsu spotted the investment opportunities for affiliates of Tsinghua University. Tsinghua was able to close multi-million dollar deals with RDA Microelectronics and Spreadtrum Technologies. The product portfolio of RDA Microelectronics includes baseband, radio-frequency front-end modules, power amplifiers, transceivers, and Blue-tooth systems-on-chip. Spreadtrum Technologies provided chipsets for smart equipment. Both these acquisitions helped in consolidating China’s semiconductor, gaming, internet, and technology markets.
Conclusion
Raising funds can be the most challenging part of launching a new venture. New ventures depend on alternative investments like private equity. With vast experience in hedge funds, Mr. Hsu provides start-ups with early-stage funding.
