Experience, Judgment, and the Conviction to Back What We Believe In.
We've spent over two decades investing in growth-stage businesses across Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Our approach is shaped by hard-won experience, long-term conviction, and deep respect for the founders we partner with.
We back companies that have moved beyond proof of concept and are ready to scale. Our capital supports businesses with proven revenue, clear market fit, and the ambition to grow regionally.
Capital is only part of the equation. We bring strategic guidance, board-level support, and introductions across the region — drawing on a network built over 20 years of active investing.
Founders know their businesses best. We provide perspective, pattern recognition, and resources — but the decisions remain with the people building the company every day.
Our primary investment region. We have active portfolios in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and across the broader ASEAN markets. Two decades of on-the-ground experience means we understand the regulatory, cultural, and commercial dynamics that shape outcomes here.
Headquartered in Hong Kong with longstanding relationships across Taiwan, we maintain active interest in opportunities at the intersection of Greater China and Southeast Asian expansion. These markets remain important to our portfolio and network.
We invest via equity, structured for investor-friendly cross-border deployment. Our capital is flexible and designed to align with the growth trajectory of each business we partner with.
Our Hong Kong base and regional network allow us to structure investments across multiple jurisdictions efficiently — supporting founders who think beyond a single market.
We invest as lead or co-investor depending on the opportunity. In both cases, we bring the same level of engagement, strategic support, and commitment to the partnership.
We don't optimise for quick exits. We invest with a long-term view, giving founders the time and support to build durable, scalable businesses across the region.
Having backed companies through multiple market cycles across Southeast Asia, we bring perspective that can only come from time in the region. We've seen what works, what doesn't, and what separates enduring businesses from fleeting ones.
Our portfolio companies benefit from relationships built over 20 years — introductions to customers, partners, talent, and capital across markets. The longer we invest in this region, the more valuable the network becomes for every company we back.
If you're building a growth-stage business in our sectors and geographies, we'd welcome the conversation.
