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.

Meet our team
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.

For the purpose of Article 4(1)(b) of the SFDR, Vertex Ventures SEA Management Pte. Ltd. ("Vertex Ventures SEA"), as a financial market participant, does not consider the adverse impacts of investment decisions on all of the sustainability factors as referred to in Article 4(1)(a) of the SFDR and does not make the disclosures as described in Article 4(1)(a) of the SFDR. The principal adverse impacts within the meaning of Article 4(1)(a) of the SFDR do not have sufficient relevance on Vertex Ventures SEA's investments, due to the size of Vertex Ventures SEA's investments and the structure of Vertex Ventures SEA's investment lines.
