About Brian Laung Aoaeh, Cfa
Note for startup founders; Fill the form at refashiond.com. After 10 years in investment management, 8 of which were spent building a venture fund from scratch - 2 Funds, $98M of AUM, and 51 investments - I realized I want to spend the rest of my life investing in the software and information infrastructure that will enable and facilitate innovation in global, industrial supply chains. Human activity is causing climate change. All human activity is driven by supply chains. We can’t solve the climate crisis until we refashion global, man-made supply chains so that they cause less harm to the environment. This will require a transformation of unprecedented scale. That is why we are building The New York Supply Chain Meetup. That is why we are building The Worldwide Supply Chain Federation. That is why we are building REFASHIOND Ventures - The Industrial Transformation Fund: to invest in the early-stage startups creating technology innovations to refashion global supply chains. We are starting completely from scratch. I am happiest when I am thinking about and trying to solve ill-defined problems. I am abnormally enthusiastic about the research process that leads me to develop answers to such problems. I think of myself, first and foremost, as a research analyst who seeks solutions to problems; Solutions that can be implemented and scaled outside the lab. I am curious, open-minded, and adaptable. I have an obsession for cool mechanical pencils. I never say no to a cup of coffee. I am not afraid to be different, and I embrace uncertainty. I have only one goal on my mind: To become a trusted and well regarded investor for founders building innovative technology to refashion supply chains and transform industries. #ResearchAllTheThings #LearnAllTheThings #DoAllTheThings I have been nicknamed; “The NextGen Supply Chain Tech Specialist” and “The Most Connected Man in Supply Chain” and “New York’s Supply Chain VC.” I spend every day striving to live up to those nicknames. On November 24, 2021 I was nicknamed "The Elon Musk of Logistics Technology" by @CambCapital on Twitter. That now serves as a local maxima in terms of my personal accomplishments. (Hint: That’s a joke for my fellow math and physics nerds.) On December 17, 2021 my partner and I were nicknamed “The Tesla of Emerging GPs” after we published a uniquely researched and thorough report on family offices and emerging VC managers (#FOinVC). #TWSCF | The past ran on supply chains. The present runs on supply chains. The future will run on supply chains. The world is a supply chain.®
