We invest only in Singapore-based early-stage startup companies that have high potential for disrupting existing markets and creating new ones. Generally speaking, we ask 5 questions about any potential investment: Is there an important problem that customers can’t address because existing solutions are expensive or inconvenient? . Is there a disruptive way to solve the problem by being simpler, more convenient, or more affordable? . Is there a plausible hypothesis about an economically attractive, scalable business model? .. Does the team have the ‘right stuff’ to manage the process of emergent learning? . Can early profitability be a choice? . Our usual investment quantum is up to half a million Singapore dollars in each company. However, if the answer to all the above questions is positive and the team is going to need more that , we are open to co-investing with other venture capital firms and/or angels. In the past, we have lead investment rounds where some of the companies have raised in the range of SGD 1 – 2 million.

Origin Capital
Headquartered in Singapore, Origin Capital Management Pte Ltd (“Origin Capital”) is the holder of a Capital Markets Service (“CMS”) license, regulated under Singapore’s Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) to conduct the regulated activity of fund management. We are amongst Asia’s first few specialist VC fund managers focused on niche VC strategies and sectors. With the current VC investment landscape, we identified these areas of specialisation: – Trade, Logistics and B2B Fintech – Asia Sustainability and Impact – F&B, Nutrition and Foodtech By adopting a rigorous approach to industry specialisation, we cater to the growing needs of startups who are seeking not just capital, but smart capital. Our capital comes with deep sectoral expertise and the ability to fast-track a firm’s minimum viable product (MVP) to commercialisation. It is our firm belief that a specialised investment fund sharpens an investee firm’s potential for an exit via an M&A or trade sale. This approach also addresses the increasingly sophisticated needs of LPs, family offices, and VC investors. As VC investing becomes more mainstream, the profile of VC investors has evolved. They comprise former successful founders/entrepreneurs, prominent corporate professionals, or family offices led by 2nd/3rd generation wealth. This category of investors are dynamic, enjoy venture building, and are hands-on. They often expect to play an activist role in the VC fund as an investment committee member, or on the boards of the VC-backed firm.
