Investment Holding Company — Hong Kong · Singapore · Thailand · Taiwan
Private capital. Long memory. Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan.
An investment holding company built on 27 years in Asian finance — backing what banks and angels won’t.
3 Ears Holdings is the holding platform for Brian Donald Nip’s investment vehicles. Patient private capital. Direct investments. Decisions made by the person whose name is on the door.
No committees. No quarterly theatre. Capital is committed where conviction is — often where conventional finance has already said no.
Three ears. One name. The mark is the founder’s surname — heard in full, never explained at length.
Direct stakes in opportunities outside the listed mainstream — sourced, structured and held through Black Pod Group. Unusual deals welcome; homework always done.
Capital for sound opportunities that cannot secure loans elsewhere — turned away by banks, passed over by angel investors. Small tickets, serious intent, fast decisions.

Sources direct investments in alternative investments, including micro-financing for opportunities denied bank loans and angel capital.
Special purpose investment company — Brian Donald Nip is co-founder and co-owner.
