I enjoy working together with early-stage founders to think through and solve problems. Love to dig deep into data and picked up Python to help me do that better! Big believer in the hustle and a #GiveFirst mentality.

Spent the last 3+ working years in emerging Southeast Asia across operating and investing roles. Always up for a conversation around startup ecosystems across the globe and share learnings from my time in Asia :)

In my previous role as an operator, I worked on business development and business intelligence in the fashion e-commerce space. With Burda, I spend my time studying the broad consumer sector, including fintech and platform businesses. Also had short stints across agribusiness, shipping and telecommunication.

In my free time, I enjoy reading novels, playing sports like football and rugby, and also spending time with my Jack Russell Terrier.

MY TOPICS

Topic is a subject you can talk about with Mak Jian Min Edwin.

Emerging Markets

Aside from being based in Southeast Asia and making short trips around the region for work, I also spent a longer period of time in Myanmar about 4 years ago and continue to visit every 6 months. Always a pleasure to share about my experience there and how the region looks like :)

Good Reads

Big fan of dystopian reads like ‘1984’ and other novels such as ‘Silence’ and ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’. Always up for a chat about good books and learnings. Currently reading ‘Vox’ by Christina Dalcher :)

Startups & Fundraising

For early-stage and/or first-time founders, I can help with fundraising and thinking through the end-to-end process, tips and tricks. Definitely up for a chat about different spins to business model in a particular space to uncover new opportunities, leveraging my understanding of Asian markets

Venture Capital

Can chat about ecosystem in Southeast Asia, key players and developments over the past 4-5 years. Also open to sharing more about my personal experience in the space
