We serve as trusted partners to some of the world’s most innovative entrepreneurs, supporting them with unmatched operating experience and deep access to the capital, talent, partners and customers they need to build truly global businesses. After years of investing locally – while thinking globally – Vertex Ventures today has a unique track record and a uniquely well-connected global organisation. We also build lasting relationships with founders based on trust, candor and results. We are committed to investing in companies and supporting globally minded entrepreneurs in tackling humanity’s most substantive problems, often in markets poorly served by technology today, with an eventual goal to accelerate Asia’s growth and transformation.

As an early stage, sector agnostic VC focusing on Southeast Asia and India, our investment thesis is anchored around the massive growth potential of the digital economy in the SE Asia and India region. Given the deep emerging market characteristics, many of our portfolio companies are well positioned to bring about significant impact to their stakeholders as they grow, particularly in accelerating economic empowerment, MSME enablement, promoting inclusiveness and contributing towards climate action across the region.

As an early stage investor and one of Southeast Asia's oldest venture capital funds, we have invested in more than 80 startups at their seed, series A/B round. In addition to capital, we pride ourselves on adding value to our founders by working closely with them and helping them across introductions to valuable contacts, hiring key management, go-to-market strategies, fundraising and more. We are pleased that our founders have been doing well by growing quickly, achieving unicorn status or becoming public companies.
