VC Series: My Top 5 Insights from Conversations with an Investor

Peter Jeun Ho Tsang unpacks his top 5 key takeaways from the VC Series in conversation with Rohan Bansal. He unpacks:

No set path into fashion and retail tech venture capital – success requires building relevant experience and perspective rather than specific qualifications.
The power of networks and relationships, crucial for both founders and investors to opening doors for funding and partnerships.
Creating a winning pitch deck is essential when investors spend just three minutes reviewing it – clearly answer "why now" and "why you".
Despite $3 billion in equity financing in 2024, there's a surprising lack of specialized fashion tech VC funds and a $20-30 billion annual funding gap
Smart money versus hype – seek investors who provide strategic value beyond capital through connections to clients, experts and industry insights
