VC Fund
Singapore, Singapore
Accelerating Asia is an early-stage venture capital fund that runs programs for startups and investors. Licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Accelerating Asia's early-stage VC fund focuses on pre-Series A startups with untapped potential that are 6-18 months away from institutional funding. Accelerating Asia invests up toUS$250,000 in pre-Series A startups and our current portfolio covers over 10 countries in Southeast and South Asia including Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangaldesh and Malaysia. With most angels and startup programs in the region focussed on ideation-MVP stage startups, and venture funds focused on solid product-market fit, startups with a robust product at early stages of customer traction are often overlooked. That's where Accelerating Asia comes in. Our accelerator and venture capital model is designed to support pre-Series A startups to fast track growth and drive success.At the core of the work we do is the guiding belief that entrepreneurs are one of humanity’s greatest catalysts for positive change.
