I am a geek-turned-VC investing in China and Japan. AMA!

Speaker_Akio Tanaka_fb AMA

Hi TIA!

I am a co-founder and managing partner of Infinity Venture Partners, an early stage VC focused on seed and series A investments in Japan and Greater China . Prior to co-founding the company,  I was managing corporate VC for Macromedia/Adobe in Asia.  I was an entrepreneur in the 1990s, CTO at Macromedia in the early 2000s, then VC in the past 10 years. So we can talk tech, entrepreneurship, investment, or whatever!

I am most interested in hearing about …

  • Your startup
  • Startup or tech trends in Asia
  • Startup scene in Japan and Greater China (Mainland China, HK, TW)
  • Startup financing (Seed, pre-A, and series A)

Ok fire away ~ ?


Note from Vanessa (Product and community manager at Tech in Asia):

We covered Infinity Venture Partners back in November 2014 where we reported that US$132 million has been set aside by them to invest early stage startups in China and Japan. It also hosts Infinity Ventures Summit that is held twice a year in Japan.

P.S. A shameless plug here. Akio will be speaking at Tech in Asia Tokyo 2015 conference this September 8 and 9. We hope to see you there!
