Our Philosophy

How do we think? Where do we invest? What are we looking for?

Where do we invest?

We are sector agnostics, but we believe in the following four megatrends, which will guide our focus:

  • Real value creation

    We believe that the startup needs to create real value for human society to be successful and sustainable in the market.

    The startups need to either foster a deep technology to shape the future of humanity or drive disruptive digital innovation to solve societal challenges.

    Human Wellbeing and Sustainable Livelihoods are the two themes of our investment. e.g. Healthcare, Climatetech, Education, Infrastructure, Food, and Agriculture.

  • Hyper realistic but visionary

    We like to see founders that are hyper realistic but also visionaries.

    Being hyperrealistic means that you understand the advantage and disadvantages (more importantly) of yourself and your business and establish the strategy and tactic around that. Being hyperrealistic means you know when to pivot and when to uphold.

    A startup cannot succeed without a visionary founder. We’d like to see the founders are pursuing not just a successful business but something impactful and meaningful in the long run. With the vision, you can attract a team of persons who are better than you in lots of aspects.

  • Brutal honesty and straight forward

    Hypercritical politeness and Irresponsibly tardiness kills startups and creates inefficiency in the market.

    We will give startups truly feedback when we say no. Once we invest, we monitor the startups’ performance closely and give feedback when it doesn’t meet our expectations.

  • Onward and upward

    We focus on Seed Stage companies but are also open to Pre-Seed. We’d like to see you have some customer tractions to prove the hyperthesis embedded in the business.

    Depends on the round size and the performance of the company, we will do a follow-on in Series A, but will let the larger funds support you in the later rounds.

    However, we are always here to help when the startups need it.
