Completely agree with you Zennon Kapron. Southeast Asia's fintech scene is ripe for innovation. With years of investing experience in the region, we are bullish on startups demonstrating strong unit economics, sustainable growth models, and a strategic focus on leveraging GenAI. This is what will drive investors attention going forward. We are proud that our portfolio companies ALAMI and wagely are already driving that change with their Sharia-compliance model empowering 200 M underbanked Muslims, and fostering financial wellbeing for millions of workers through earned wage access programs, respectively.

In the wake of the pandemic, shifts in consumer behavior have driven lasting changes in economies worldwide. The #AsiaPacific region boasts a cohort of resilient companies which are evolving to capitalise on evolving consumer preferences. Despite a decline in VC funding, some #startups continue to thrive, leveraging pandemic-driven growth and strategic #adaptation. Funding constraints, particularly acute in Asia, have led to a rise in down rounds, but companies with robust cash reserves enjoy a competitive advantage. In South #Korea, sanitary product manufacturer Aseado has expanded into other sectors post-pandemic; and #Singapore's MaNaDr Mobile Health maintains competitiveness by placing the focus on user experience. Both companies have incorporated emerging #technology like #AI into their manufacturing processes and services. Singapore has emerged as a vibrant startup hub within the continent, second only to Beijing; and #India and the greater Southeast Asia region are also becoming highly attractive. Despite headwinds, sustained investor interest in Asia and a smaller pool of viable companies bode well for those positioned for #growth. Article by June Yoon for the Financial Times.

“China’s 40% decrease helped pull the market down, while the US saw a 29% drop, according to data collected by research firm Preqin. The overall worldwide haul by startups shrank to $57.8 billion in the first three months. The numbers signal investors are concerned by slowing economies and elevated inflation, and the impact those are having on young companies. Global VC investment last year fell to the lowest since 2017, even as new technologies such as generative artificial intelligence attracted funding. In China, investments into AI companies almost doubled to $4.2 billion in the first quarter, while the country’s overall VC bets fell to $11.8 billion, according to Preqin. That’s the lowest quarterly dollar amount since the first quarter of 2020. Among China’s 19 biggest deals in the first quarter were two investments in up-and-coming startups Moonshot AI and MiniMax, each company valued in the billions of dollars. The Chinese government has designated research into cutting-edge fields like AI a priority for coming years, vowing to mobilize an entire nation to try and reduce a reliance on Western technology.”
