#41: Special Situation Funds & Venture Investing with Vulpes Investment Management's Field Pickering

Field has spent over a decade in Singapore investing across South East Asia. Field is the Head of Venture and Impact Investing at Vulpes Investment Management. In April 2020, in the heart of the ‘first wave’ of COVID-19, Field quickly raised a Special Opportunities Fund to invest in venture backed companies as valuations came off and venture investing slowed, while other venture investors contemplated how COVID-19 would affect their ability to invest and their current portfolio companies’ performances.

He joined Vulpes in 2015 and in addition to his investing responsibilities, he has served as the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of the fund manager licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Field serves on the Board of Patamar Capital, the largest impact investment fund in South East Asia, and is the founding partner of Seed Myanmar, both of which are managed by Vulpes. Field is also a Board member of PactSafe, an Indianapolis based SaaS business and the global leading platform for clickwrap agreement management and e-signatures.

Field graduated from the University of Colorado-Boulder and the University of San Francisco School of Law.
