Backing the Bold is a primer on the venture capital industry, business, and profession in Southeast Asia. The goal of the book’s thirteen chapters has initially been to guide students of the Insignia Ventures Academy - Asia’s first experiential venture capital accelerator - in their exploration of the venture capital industry and profession, specifically in the context of Southeast Asia’s startup ecosystem and from the perspective of Insignia Ventures and its portfolio founders.Rather than being a book in the traditional sense of the word, such an origin and context for Backing the Bold has inevitably made this book a dynamic piece of literature, continuously growing and improving thanks to every new group of people who become part of the VC accelerator - as organizers, mentors, or participants.Now in print and in distribution, this first edition is available for all as a snapshot of Backing the Bold’s progress as a continuously evolving repository of insights, best practices, and frameworks. It is for readers of any background or motivation to gain a better understanding of the venture capital investment process, portfolio management, and profession in the context of Southeast Asia’s fast-growing technology markets.
