About Brian Laung Aoaeh
I am a co-founder of REFASHIOND Ventures, a venture fund that is being built to invest in early-stage startups refashioning global supply chains.
Before REFASHIOND, I was a partner at Particle Ventures (FKA KEC Ventures) in New York City, where I assessed and invested in early stage technology startups in Supply Chain & Industrial Intelligence. Before Particle Ventures, I was the first member of the team that launched KEC Ventures. It grew to become a firm with $98M of AUM across 2 funds, and 51 investments.
Prior to KEC Ventures, I worked at Watson Wyatt, UBS AG, Lehman Brothers, and KEC Holdings respectively - where I established the investing team in 2008. I hold a BA with a double major in Mathematics and Physics from Connecticut College, and an MBA with a specialization in Financial Instruments and Markets from NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. I am also also a CFA Institute charterholder.
