About Stephen Leist
I live to invest and build companies. But it is not just identifying the opportunity and the asset that I love, but all that goes with it: structuring the deal or fund, building the operation behind the entity, and nurturing support from other investors. I have tried to focus on businesses that enhance human creativity and quality of work and life. I love to put capital to work in Asia, emerging markets, out of favor assets, odd-ball orthogonal ideas, as well as, skill-based strategies.
