Singapore, HK need deep tech talent pipeline: Gaurav Sharma, Atlantis Capital

Gaurav Sharma of Atlantis Capital believes that the venture ecosystems of Asian destinations such as Singapore and Hong Kong need a Silicon Valley-like deep tech talent pipeline in order to grow. When it comes to talent, he also suggests that Asia-based venture capital firms look inwards and diversify their own talent profiles to drive performance. In an interview with DEALSTREETASIA, Sharma discusses the difference in VCs’ and startup founders’ mental models, the varied VC ecosystems of India, Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as the venture capital and fintech space in Singapore.
