Mr Brian Tsui
Through human and financial capital, Brian empowers founders to navigate the stage where most startups fail: when a locally validated idea goes global. As an early-stage investor, Brian also co-founded the Chicago Booth Angels Network of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. He is the Asia-Pacific co-chair of the University of Chicago's top-ranked global accelerator, a venture partner of AngelHub, and a mentor at Founder Institute. Brian enjoys judging at the Asian Financial Forum, Hong Kong FinTech Week, and Startup Express. He has shared his favourite topic, "What's missing in your perfect pitch?" with 3,000+ founders, intrapreneurs, and university students. Brian began his international career in management consulting, where he launched and managed a corporate finance practice in Southeast Asia and a financial institution practice in the US for a global consultancy, helping C-suite executives at the most complex companies embrace, invest in, and integrate emerging technologies. Brian holds a BA from the University of Michigan and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
