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.
