Keiretsu Forum, a structured approach to angel investing: Subra Iyer

Keiretsu Forum, a global angel investor network, offers its members a better chance of finding deals that interest them, as the opportunities are not geographically constrained, said Subra Iyer, who oversees the community’s Singapore Chapter. While angel investing remains a risky business, Iyer is of the opinion that a sufficiently large portfolio would be required to make positive returns. “To make a large portfolio, you need to see a large pool of quality companies from which, you can build your portfolio, which the Keiretsu Forum facilitates,” he said, in an interaction, ahead of the inaugural meeting of the network’s Singapore chapter.  Edited Excerpts.
