Venture capital is still an emerging industry in Malaysia.
We rarely heard people and friends around us in venture capital.
Venture capital in Malaysia are mostly funded by government to nurture SME so that we are too dependent to FDI.
Venture capital is a big industry in US. Surprisingly India and China has quite a lot of venture capital firms as the innovation and entrepreneurship in these countries are good.
Any one here is working for Cradle fund, MTDC or MAVCAP. Share your opinion of these industry and insights here. I believe many fresh grads will want to know more. I think Private fund is the next step for those in the venture capital as the salary is really low compare to Private fund.

QUOTE(prole @ Mar 26 2011, 11:38 PM) In US, VCs always interested in forseen profit-making startup companies like Groupon, Zinga etc. In Malaysia, our VCs seems are more interested towards loss-making legacy companies and thinking of how to turn it into profit making... I can say 7 out of 10 legacy cos. here having messy financial structures and problematic management viabilities. At MAVCAP annual dinner last night, I just noticed that there was 1000+ VCs in India. That is huge man I mean if we compare to our local market i.e less than hundred PEVCs. According to that India fella, they still need more funds flow-in to India to support the boom-growing India economy. I think we need to focus more on talented startups rather than putting effort to transform loss-making legacy companies into 'profitable' entities. This just my personal thoughs by the way.  U r in VC or in MAVCAP? yupe, not juz india, China as well. Our neighbour Singapore also started to get more ppl in VC and they focus not juz sg but China and SEA |

@tishaban
what is growth capital company in Malaysia beside Navis?
what is their startegy differnt with VC and PE?
VC paid is RM1800 for fresh grads and after 5 years or so, you may get RM4k. I do not know of the top management in VC, mayb top managemnet paid is much higher. Furthermore, I believe the paid in VC (outside malaysia such as hk, CHina and sg) is much higher as they need toa nswer the profit and lost. Those gov funded will not need to care of profit and lost.
Added on March 28, 2011, 5:18 pmsome info of Navis cap, those analyst were mostly getting thier education in UK, US or Aus. Those uni were hard to get in
