Asfand Yar Saeed
- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director
- Executive
As a highly experienced fund manager, investor, and founder with over a decade of expertise in various fields such as startups, corporate management, strategy, private investments, asset management, financial products, and legal affairs, I am proud to have had the opportunity to live and work in six different countries across 21 cities.
Currently, my focus is on "productizing" venture capital fund products that are thematically and sector-focused on Film making, Production and Digital Media. In the past, I have made multi-asset class direct investments and worked with external asset managers in various areas, including venture capital, public equities, fixed income/credit, and other alternative investments, primarily in the Southern Hemisphere, Austral-Asia, and the MENA region.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I am a thought leader in matters related to US-China/Asia macro, policy, culture, legal affairs, geopolitical issues, and cross-border family office concerns. With my extensive knowledge and experience, I am dedicated to positively impacting the world of finance and investing.
During the day, I am a venture capitalist, pouring money into startups and angel investing. But at night, I don my snapback and become a DJ at events and clubs known as "Isphandior". With my finance background and experience in music and filmmaking, I have excelled in multiple fields. I am known for balancing my well-known careers effectively and managing my time and energy to excel in all areas. Despite a demanding schedule that requires me to be highly reliable, Asfandyar isn't just a DJ-he's also an entrepreneur!
