Asfand Yar Saeed

Ceo / Chief Business Architect at 13o3

Fund manager, investor, and founder with over a decade of expertise in various fields such as startups, corporate management, strategy, private investments, asset management, financial products, and legal affairs, I am proud to have had the opportunity to live and work in six different countries across 21 cities.

Currently, my focus is on "productizing" venture capital fund products that are thematically and sector-focused. In the past, I have made multi-asset class direct investments and worked with external asset managers in various areas, including venture capital, public equities, fixed income/credit, and other alternative investments, primarily in the Southern Hemisphere, Austral-Asia, and the MENA region.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I am a thought leader in matters related to US-China/Asia macro, policy, culture, legal affairs, geopolitical issues, and cross-border family office concerns. With my extensive knowledge and experience, I am dedicated to positively impacting the world of finance and investing.
