Joseph Tsai became a private equity investor in 1999 with Investor AB, the investment part of the Wallenberg family, Sweden’s iconic business empire. Tsai, born in Taiwan, lives in Hong Kong and holds Canadian citizenship. His life took a 360-degree turn as he traveled to Hangzhou, in eastern China, to take a good look at Alibaba, the Chinese-based startup launched by the entrepreneurial wizard Jack Ma.
