中小企業の「ミッシングミドル」を解消する、新たなデジタル資金調達
中小企業は成長と雇用創出を牽引し、全企業の90%、グローバルな雇用の半数以上を占めています。一方、中小企業の中には「ミッシングミドル（中間層の空白）」と呼ばれるセグメントが存在します。マイクロファイナンスには規模が大きすぎ、商業銀行にとっては規模が小さくリスクが高い、または非公式であるために、金融システムの隙間に落ち込んでしまう企業群です。
Shuyin Tang
Shuyin has been living and investing in Vietnam since 2013 and has played a pivotal role in developing the country's impact investing sector. She is the co-founder and CEO of the Beacon Fund, the first private debt fund focused on Vietnam and the first private debt fund with an impact and gender lens in Southeast Asia. Beacon focuses on backing the ‘missing middle’ of women and diverse-led businesses which are too small for PE, too big for microfinance, do not fit the growth profile of VC and are underserved by banks.
She has experience spanning strategy consulting (Bain & Company), development consulting (TechnoServe) and impact investing (Patamar Capital, LGT Venture Philanthropy), across Australia, India and Southeast Asia. She has also worked in U.S. Congress and the Australian public service, as well as at The Lowy Institute for International Policy and UNICEF.
Shuyin was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum (2024), an Asia 21 Young Leader by the Asia Society (2016), and one of Australia's "100 Women of Influence" by the Australian Financial Review (2015). She graduated summa cum laude from the Australian National University where she was also awarded the University Medal.
