Grand Finale Judge – Koh Soo Boon

Koh Soo Boon founded iGlobe in December 1999 when venture capital (VC) was experiencing the onset of globalisation. As a veteran in the global VC industry with a specialisation in technology investing, she has achieved consistent top-quartile fund return for her investments. Soo Boon led some of the notable exits, including u-blox AG (SWX: UBXN), Telenav Inc. (NASDAQ: TNAV), Celestry Inc. (sold to Cadence), Aicent Inc. (acquired by TA Associates) and Anacle Systems Ltd (HKGEM: 8353). Currently, Soo Boon serves as board observer of several VC-backed companies based in San Francisco. Soo Boon is also a board member of The Great Room (Singapore) and Reach Robotics (Bristol). Soo Boon‘s ability to nurture founders and connect syndication co-investors across continents came from her experience in the Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) early in her career. Her clients come from a range of industries, including electronics, financial services and petrochemical. With this experience, she has built a network of trusted partners whom she rode through multiple business cycles with.
