Hans Tung, managing partner at Notable Capital (formerly GGV Capital), has been discussing the state of venture capital, fintech, and global innovation in a series of podcast appearances and events. In 2025, Tung described his investment philosophy, stating that to be a great global VC, one "cannot just be an economist or just be an asset manager — there's an element of being a sociologist." He has emphasized the importance of identifying broad sociological trends, arguing that the success of companies like Airbnb and TikTok was driven by founders who "captured the right sociological trends at the right time." Tung also reflected on the changing geopolitical landscape, noting that the "tensions between the US and China are a new normal" and that as a result, Notable Capital will focus on the US, Europe, Latin America, and Israel, and will not invest in China. In 2024, Tung expressed continued bullishness on fintech, pointing out that the market cap of all public financial services companies is over $10 trillion, while fintech companies represent less than 5% of that figure, suggesting significant room for growth. He has also discussed the normalization of down rounds, stating that "IPO is actually just a milestone, not the end game" and that a temporary valuation drop matters less than generating a large outcome over the long term. Tung has also spoken about the importance of founders developing "very thick skin" and conviction, and has advised that during hard times, "great companies are built," citing examples from the 2000 and 2008 downturns.
