Many market participants in my part of the Asia Pacific region generally are not as familiar with angel financing and related issues as those in the United States and other more advanced markets, and could benefit from having a handy and practical resource to keep them better informed about various aspects of angel financing. My attendance at the first Asia Business Angel Forum (ABAF) in Singapore in 2011 opened my eyes to the pan-Asia Pacific aspects of the angel investment phenomenon. It inspired the idea that perhaps a book from a regional perspective may be useful and interesting, both for practitioners and policy makers. In recent years, the globalizing trend has made it more feasible to do cross-border angel investing, which actually has been occurring with more frequency. Practitioners are becoming more interested in learning more about what is happening beyond their respective countries and any related opportunities.
