The team welcomes the appointment of Sabrina Zeng as the new Corporate Development Manager at Aura Ventures. Sabrina brings a wealth of experience and a dynamic background to our team, making her a valuable addition to our growing organisation.
Sabrina's career spans various roles and industries, showcasing her versatility and expertise. She has conducted economic field research in global markets, advised enterprise banking executives, and led operations teams in both public and private sectors. After spending five years in corporate banking, Sabrina moved to the Nordic region, where she served as Chief Product Officer for a social impact startup.
Upon returning to Australia, Sabrina took on the role of Head of Ecosystem at Fishburners, the country's largest and longest-standing tech startup community. There, she led strategic partnerships, fundraising, and development opportunities to drive tech-enabled innovation. In addition to her professional roles, Sabrina is a part-time Lecturer at UNSW Business School, focusing on grassroots efforts to cultivate innovation and research commercialisation.
Sabrina shared her excitement about joining Aura Group: "Aura Ventures is on an ambitious trajectory to grow into one of the most reputable VCs in Australia. Underwriting paradigm shifts is one of those extraordinary, often misunderstood roles in the tech startup industry; it demands tenacity, belief, and the kind of substance that Aura's investors have in spades.
In line with our anticipated growth, my role is to amplify the outsized impact of their partnership with exceptional founders. Contributing to scaling a phenomenal VC is my own way of backing the future I hope will exist. With the fruits of Aura's Fund I and Fund II in abundance, a distinguished presence in Southeast Asia, and a rapidly evolving investments landscape, there's never been a better time to join Aura and be a part of that next chapter."
Sabrina holds a combined Bachelor's Degree in Business Information Systems, Philosophy, and Anthropology.
