What we do
Golden Gate Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm investing across Southeast Asia.Since 2011, we’ve invested in over 25 companies across more than 7 countries in Asia. Our founders have built companies in Silicon Valley and Asia. We aim to add value through our experience, network, and our existing portfolio. We have the regional footprint to help startups grow from one country to the next.
Why we do
We have a long-term vision of helping you build your company. We’re here to help you achieve your goals and build a massively successful company. We trust the founders we invest in and take an approach that is as hands-on as you want us to be. For seed investments, this is usually early product development; for later stage companies it might be market expansion. We’ve even helped our companies make successful pivots - driven by the founders, but supported by us.
How we do
We focus on Southeast Asia. To date we’ve invested in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam, but we’re always looking for companies interested in expanding regionally and globally. We also invest in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and the U.S.
Startups in Southeast Asia that leverage technology and the internet to scale rapidly and disrupt existing industries - from e-commerce to payments, marketplaces to content portals, mobile apps to B2B, IoT to SaaS platforms.
We invest at the Seed, Series A, and Bridge rounds. For Southeast Asia, this is generally companies raising USD$250k to USD$5M. We like working with co-investors that add value and are open to both leading and following other investors.
