Builders
Founders with a working product or MVP, strong technical or market insight, and clear alignment with real-world problems. You have early proof of capability and a pilot-ready use case but need partners to test and validate further.
Scalers
Startups with traction and product–market fit signals, ready to grow faster. You have revenue, validation, and a strong team, but need distribution, adoption, or enterprise credibility to scale.
Expanders
Established regional or global startups with little to no local presence. You’re looking for a go-to-market partner to accelerate entry, navigate the market, and compress time to scale.
Our Investment Themes
While these are our current focus areas, we remain open to bold, adjacent ideas that create meaningful synergies with our ecosystem, especially those that can leverage our data, network, and platform advantages to drive real-world impact.
Revitalizing Trust for Digital Filipinos
We helped bring the Philippines online; the next decade is about helping people feel safe staying there. We back solutions that rebuild everyday digital trust — in transactions, identities, and everyday interactions.
Reimagining Customer Experience
When connectivity becomes a commodity, experience becomes the brand. The best companies don’t add more touchpoints. They remove friction and make problems disappear across chat, phone, app, and store.
Powering the Creator Economy
Content, commerce, and payments are converging. Instead of competing with dominant platforms, we invest in tools and infrastructure that help creators, brands, and businesses thrive around them.
Unlocking Vertical AI
As compute and foundation models centralize, defensibility shifts to specialized, high-value applications. We focus on AI built on proprietary data and deep domain integrations.
