About Access Ventures

Access Ventures, headquartered in Hong Kong, is a venture capital firm focusing on early-stage technology companies in Southeast Asia, mainly in Vietnam and Indonesia. It resourcefully funds startups that have local or global business models. It has multiple startups in its portfolio with their origins in Silicon Valley, Korea, and Singapore. Access Ventures’ partners have a collective 50+ years of experience in global finance and technology investment, which provides it with extensive networks amid senior business leaders. The Limited Partners (LPs) who contributed in Fund II include Korea Venture Investment Corp (KVIC), the investment arm of Korean multinational F&F, and multiple Singapore-based family offices such as Octava. Line Ventures and Mahanusa Capital, who had invested in Access Ventures’ Fund I have participated in the second fund as well. To date, Fund II has made over 10 new investments in countries across Southeast Asia. Its portfolio firms include Akseleran, Godee, A-Stin, CredoLab, GoDee, Helicap and many more.

Access Ventures generally focuses on investing in startups across the seed to Series A stage, but it should be noted that the VC firm remains open to late-stage investments as well, especially as a result of the ongoing financial crisis where firms can evaluate their end result better. For early-stage startups, Access invests in the range of US$ 300K to US$ 1.5M for a 5-10% equity stake across verticals such as fintech, data analytics and e-sports, among others.

Access Ventures launched its debut US$ 15M fund in 2017 and made 20 investments across companies, including Moca (online payment solutions provider, acquired by Grab in 2018), artificial intelligence firm Kata.ai, and freight forwarder startup Andalin.
