One of Singapore's largest venture capital firm, Vertex Ventures, has raised $210 million to invest in start-up companies in the Southeast Asia and India, exceeding its original target size of $150 million.
According to Vertex, it plans to continue its investments in early-stage technology companies, focusing on consumer internet, fintech and enterprise technology.
This is Vertex first fund with external investors. Vertex was an early investor in Grab, and recently in SpaceMob, InstaRem and Synup.
Vertex Ventures is the venture capital arm of Temasek Holdings, which is Singapore state investor. It operates out of three main offices in Singapore, Bangalore and Jakarta.
"In addition to our current offices, we will expand our presence to other SEA cities in the near future to better access local opportunities," Joo Hock Chua, managing partner, said.
シンガポール政府の所有する投資会社テマセク・ホールディングスの企業であるVertex Venturesは、東南アジアとインドの新興企業への投資に向けた2億1,000万ドルの資金を調達し、当初の目標額1億5000万ドルを上回ったことを発表。同社Vertexは、エンタープライズテクノロジー、金融テクノロジー、消費者向けインターネットといった分野を通じて、東南アジアおよびインドの初期段階のテクノロジー企業に投資する戦略を継続する予定です。Vertexは、乗り物手配サービスを提供する企業 Grabに初期段階から投資を行ってきた経歴を誇り、同社Grabは7月に25億ドルの資金調達ラウンドを発表。ある情報筋によるとこのラウンドには、60億ドルの価値があるとの評価が囁かれています。Vertexの最近の投資には、共同作業スペースのスタートアップ企業WeWorkにより買収されたSpaceMob、送金支払いシステム会社InstaRem、デジタルマーケティング会社Synupが含まれています。Vertex Venturesの東南アジア並びにインドでのチームは、シンガポール、バンガロール、ジャカルタの3つの都市に設置された主要オフィスから運営される形となっています。「現在のオフィスに加えて、近い将来、他の東南アジアの都市でのプレゼンスを拡大し、同地域の事業機会に、今まで以上に働きかける」とJoo Hock Chuaマネージングパートナーがコメント。今回の新たなファンドは、この地域でのVertextにとっての3番目の試みだが 、外部投資家を含めるという意味では初めての形式。というのも、 Vertexの東南アジア向けの今までの2つのファンドは、テマセク・ホールディングスが完全に資金を調達したものでした。
