    Women in Private Markets

    We're offering a limited number of free passes to the Asia PE-VC Summit for senior women in VC, PE, and tech, as part of our commitment to improving representation.

    Addressing the Gender Gap in Investing
    Women make up just 18% of investment decision-makers in Southeast Asia, and most firms still lack female partners with cheque-signing authority — this initiative aims to help change that.

    Who’s Eligible
    Women at VC or PE firms, and CXOs at startups that have raised Series A or beyond across Southeast Asia, India, and Greater China. Preference will be given to first-time attendees and DealStreetAsia subscribers.

    Limited Slots & Sponsor Disclosure

    Startup Founders

    We're offering a limited number of free passes to startup founders for the Asia PE-VC Summit — because we know not every founder has the means to attend.

    Elevating Voices That Drive the Future
    We believe that access to industry-shaping conversations shouldn’t be limited by cost. Many high-potential founders, especially in early scaling stages, deserve a seat at the table and this initiative is designed to make that possible.

    Who’s Eligible
    Founders who’ve raised at least a Series A round, based in Southeast Asia, India, or Greater China, are invited to apply.

    Limited Slots & Sponsor Disclosure
    Passes are limited and submitting the form does not guarantee access. If a sponsor is secured, attendee details will be shared with the sponsoring organisation.

    I have known DealStreetAsia for 15 years and I think the firm has done really well, really gathering the right insights and the right target audience in one place so that we can have a very good, clear, honest and transparent exchange.

    So this is a great event.This is my second year attending, super packed room, standing room only, lots of great speakers. I really enjoyed my panel earlier, where we talked about the opportunities in what appears to be a challenging backdrop for Asia, but lots of insights from the panelists, lots of questions from the audience as well. I’m looking forward to the many other panels that are dotted across the day, today and tomorrow.

    Well, first off, I’d like to thank the DealStreetAsia for inviting me to the event as always, very wonderful event and engaged audience, and always good to come to these sessions. And I think this time its particularly interesting. In past events, we’ve seen participation, but seems like there’s a real sort of engagement building up, which is always good to see. Look, I’ve enjoyed being part of the panel here. Always interesting when you learn from the other panelists as much as you contribute. And you know that’s why I like coming to these things, and certainly didn’t disappoint me this time as well. So I look forward to more such interactions, and thank you everyone again for having me here.

    All right. Well, it was great to participate to the conference today. Great show. Lots of the attendance is amazing. Had a very good panel discussion with private credit. We went through all the attractiveness of private credit in Asia at the moment, and why? Really, global investors cannot miss the investment opportunities that private credit has to offer in Asia as a very differentiated product from what they might have seen for years now in US and Europe. So I would really encourage people to attend this conference going forward, to meet a lot of LPs GPs and mingle with the investment community that is very, very active in this part of the world. Thank you.

    I’ve been attending Dealstreet Asia’s events for a few years now. In Singapore, have been on a few panels. I always enjoyed that the other panelists are always very well informed. I get to meet quite a few friends in the private equity world that are very active, few LPs from around the world. So it’s a very efficient spot to just come and meet other market participants. This year’s event was surprisingly large, maybe the largest ever. We had a packed audience during our panel in the morning. So always a pleasure.

    It’s been a great day. Today, I was on the first panel, and the entire room is just full of people that are so enthusiastic about what they’re going to learn about investment , the market. And, under the current uncertain environment, how people and how different capital market will be doing. And so this is actually very exciting for me. And I think the overall arrangement of the event is also very smooth and very, you know, flawless, and everything is kind of very, very well defined and well organized and okay. Overall, I think that for myself and my platform a lot of reward and result coming out of it. Yeah. The other thing I realized that the DealStreetAsia platform is actually providing a lot of useful and insightful market information, and oftentimes very timely. For instance, today’s event, after the session, I realized that the news already coming out from the LinkedIn web page less than an hour after all this event happening. So I think that the team is really doing a great job. Yeah. Thank you.

    Very excited to see so many people attending this year’s conference. And I really love that we have so many parallel tracks and addressing a lot of the topics that are very pertinent and the top of everybody’s minds today, particularly around ESG, and investing in gender topics. Very happy to be here. Thank you very much for inviting me DealStreetAsia, and I’m looking forward to being back again next year.

    I think this year has been a turnout year. It looks like there’s a lot of networking going on outside the sessions whilst there are plenty of people inside the sessions. I think this year you guys have done a really good job in the four tracks you’ve had.

    I think that turnout is fantastic. It’s a great networking event, which is one of the reasons I wanted to come here. Spent a lot of my time networking. I’ve gone for a couple of the select sessions, which have been super interesting.

    This is bigger than last year and extremely well attended. And the speaker lineup is probably one of the best. The panel that we were on was great. There were extremely good questions. I think that’s probably one of the things that I liked the most. Great discussion and good to be here and look forward to being here next year.
