Terrance Philips
Terrance Philips and Jame DiBiasio are both Americans who have built their careers in Asia. They are currently based in Hong Kong.
Terrance Philips was a senior banker at Silicon Valley Bank for nearly 12 years, where he helped build its international businesses. Silicon Valley Bank is a unique institution, specializing in venture debt (debt for startups and the VCs backing them). This is an incredibly niche part of the world of private capital, but it has given SVB an unparalleled view on the VC industry worldwide. Terrance is using his incredible network to win interviews for the authors with the VC industry, from pioneers to executives at today’s hottest firms. Terrance was previously managing director at Citibank.
Jame DiBiasio is a writer, journalist, and historian. Based in Hong Kong since 1997, he founded various financial trade publications for the region, and set up his own media business in 2017 to focus on fintech. He is author of COWRIES TO CRYPTO, a history of money; as well as two books on Asian history covering medieval temple societies in Cambodia and Burma. He is also co-author of BLOCK KONG, profiling blockchain entrepreneurs in Hong Kong. In his spare time Jame writes international thrillers, some of which have also been published.
Together Terrance and Jame are uniquely positioned to write PLANET VC, with their networks in finance in Asia and the US, their lived experience as a banker and as a journalist; and their fascination in connecting the stories of individual investors’ pursuit of riches with the great trends shaping our society.
