How Overseas Investors Can Tap Into the Hong Kong and Asia Startup Markets with Jay Kim

This week, we are talking investment! It is a topic many people are always interested in getting into (myself included) and wondering how does it start. Especially here in Asia where – during my Wall Street days, it seemed so obscure and high risk.

So we bring on fellow podcaster and friend, Jay Kim, to the show. He is the host of the Jay Kim show, based in Hong Kong and an investor himself. He shares some of the mindset needed for investing, differences here in Asia, and more, enjoy!

Thanks for coming on the show!

Today’s podcast is brought to you by Aurelia Pay. I use them for sending money to my Chinese supplier from Hong Kong – it is a cross border payment solution between China, Hong Kong and South East Asia. So, when I need to make a payment to a Chinese supplier, I just hop in to place a remittance, pay to their HK bank account, and Aurelia Pay settle RMB within the same business day! Check them out
