Are you a founder in need of early-stage funding? Look no further! We are a small private fund that specializes in providing checks of up to $50,000 to founders like you. While we may not be an incorporated venture capital firm, we are dedicated to supporting promising startups in their early stages.
Stage: Early Stage
Our focus is on pre-seed, seed, and angel stages. We understand that these early stages of a startup’s journey are critical, and we are here to provide the necessary financial support to help you get off the ground. However, please note that our check size is not suitable for Series A rounds.
Check Size: Up to $50,000
We offer checks of up to USD $50,000 per round. We believe that this amount can make a significant impact on your startup’s progress and help you achieve your initial milestones.
Non-Financial Value Proposition
Aside from financial support, we bring additional value to the table. Our limited partners (LPs) have extensive experience in the ecommerce and payments industries in Southeast Asia. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and guidance to help your startup navigate the challenges specific to these sectors.
Industries/Verticals: AI, CPG, and Climate
We are particularly interested in startups operating in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), consumer packaged goods (CPG), and climate. If your startup falls within these industries, we encourage you to reach out to us.
Startup Sourcing Locations
While we are open to considering startups from various locations, we primarily source startups based in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London. Our physical office is located in downtown Berkeley, providing us with a convenient base to engage with founders from these areas.
Source of Funds: Private LPs in Southeast Asia
Our funds come from private limited partners (LPs) based in Southeast Asia. These LPs have a strong interest in supporting early-stage startups and believe in the potential of founders like you.
When to Reach Out
If you have a prototype or minimum viable product (MVP) to showcase, along with a pitch deck, we encourage you to reach out to us. We are particularly excited about founders who have already tested product-market fit (PMF). However, we are also open to considering promising founders at the ideation stage and are willing to make exceptions for exceptional ideas.
