Eugene Zhang, the founding partner of TSVC, formerly TEEC Angel Fund, started making investment since 2000 himself. And TSVC, being a micro VC fund in the Silicon Valley for 8 years, has done over 150 companies, luckily with three unicorns: Zoom, Quanergy and Ginkgo Bio. 3 basic standards in Eugene's investment checklist: 1. The founding team, which always comes No.1. 2. The market potential. 3. Technology. TSVC is focusing on deep tech. For early stage investment, the process is really quick, in the range of 1 to 2 months. Besides money, TSVC can provide a lot other valuable resources to the startup: 12 partners all have operation experience to share, to help with the fundraising of next round, to help to connect with partners, investors, customers, and talents. Eugene said, being a startup founder is not easy, especially for the CEO, "everybody seems like the boss" in the early days. So to be the founder of a startup, you will have to be very resilient, persistent, willing to take sacrifices, willing to look at the big picture, willing to share benefit to your team members. So "keep open-minded, keep learning and be persistent." Eugene's focus is in FinTech and blockchain. Regarding current crypto space, Eugene said it's normal that in the early stage there's a lot speculation, but in the long term, it will become healthy.
