Hans Hawinkels Notícia

Headline,Koos Bekker,Naspers

Koos Bekker and Hans Hawinkels convinced Naspers to invest in Tencent in 2001.

Koos Bekker and Hans Hawinkels are the men behind the Naspers deal to acquire a 46.5% stake in Tencent for $33 million, which proved to be one of the best venture capital deals in history.

He identified Tencent, which operated the instant messaging platform QQ, and had a meeting with its founder, Ma Huateng. Hawinkels spent much time convincing IDG and PCCW — two major Tencent shareholders — to sell their shares. Since leaving Naspers, Hawinkels has held executive positions at Truworths International, Times Media Group, and Wyzetalk.
