โour largest fund to dateโat $145 million.
This fund is built to back Asiaโs next generation of cross-border startup champions in fintech, AI, e-commerce, logistics, and IP.
In celebration of this milestone, we spoke with TechCrunch about whatโs fueling this momentum, and how weโre helping founders scale across the regionโand beyond.
Backers of our fifth fund include a mix of public and private entities, including Japan Investment Corporation (JIC), the National Development Fund of Taiwan (NDF), Korea Venture Investment Corporation (KVIC), and SME Support Japan.
For our fund V, we have invested in 17 companies, including Newmo, a Japanese taxi and ride-sharing startup; Jenfi, a Singapore-based company providing revenue-based financing for digital businesses and startups in Southeast Asia; and Pi-xcels, a Tokyo- and Singapore-based startup that delivers NFC-enabled tech for merchants to send receipts to their customers.
Thank you to our partners, portfolio founders, and teammates across Tokyo, Taipei, and Singapore.
Hereโs to the next chapter of building durable, border-agnostic companies together.
