Our Investment Philosophy We have a unique method to assess and decide to invest in potential startups. The firm used the “3P” – People, Product, and Potential Market – to assess the potential investment. However, we realize that “2P” – People and Potential Market – are enough in helping us to evaluate the investment. People: We believe that good founders have three core traits: integrity, high-level self-awareness and paradoxical trait. Potential Market: We always ask the founders about the potential market size and the target of a reasonable market they want to see. The philosophy has carried East Ventures to be a fast decision maker in dealing with investments. The deals can be done within 24-48 hours.
