About
Achievements
Mentoring and guiding my team members, the entrepreneurs and my portfolio companies has been my biggest accomplishment and pride.
My unique research-driven investment model has already led to five exits among 23 companies I have invested, in just three years
I have developed a unique "Consumer Lens" model to assess core value proposition of business models.
I was the top rated Tech/Internet Analyst and I saw, and published about, two of the biggest tech trends ever, well before early VCs: Search and Social Media (see reports);
I was the first analyst to identify the huge potential of Chinese Internet and consumer market
Along with my capable team, I published major though pieces that shaped the industries and got vast following/media attention (The Golden Search Report; The User Revolution, etc.)

What I'm Looking For
I invest in trends that I have identified as the emerging issues- I understand consumer market and tech, and look for companies that can break the old methods and stand out from the competition. I look for solutions to major pain points and min $1b market potentials.
