AngelHub
No summary available yet.
AngelHub is basically the regulatory good guys who figured out how to play by Hong Kong's strict SFC rules while most others are still stuck in gray zones. They scored a 19x return on The Sandbox exit and have a solid 2.1x equity multiplier across their portfolio. The two female founders are legit - Karen's got serious finance chops from JPM and Karena literally rewrote Hong Kong's crowdfunding regulations. But here's the thing: they're essentially a deal-by-deal SPV platform, not a traditional VC fund, so don't expect hands-on operational support or board seats. They vet hard (less than 5% of deals make it to their platform) but once you're in, you're mostly on your own. Good for founders who want institutional-grade investors without the typical VC drama.
- —Best for: Series A-C companies wanting access to regulated HK professional investors
- —Watch out for: Limited post-investment support - it's more platform than traditional VC
- —Known for: Strong regulatory compliance and solid exits (19x on Sandbox)
