The Power of Good Advice
Taking you higher
About Us
After decades in the financial industry spanning across investment banking, asset management and wealth management we decided to devote our skills and energy to things we love, people that inspire us and ideas that get us buzzing.
We love helping driven entrepreneurs with audacious, industry disruptive visions reach their goals. We love connecting people and ideas to create a multiplier effect. We love leveraging our global network to hear from the best.
What we do
Advise
We help agile startups grow and scale effectively. We bring 40 years of experience across strategy, capital access, M&A and business development.
We have a strong network in the regional and global investor community. We are also active mentors with several of Singapore's prominent accelerator programs.
Invest
We selectively invest in early stage startups, where we know the founders well, love their vision and believe in their execution capabilities.
We have a strategic edge in fintech and digital health, but are generally sector agnostic.
Operate
To understand entrepreneurs, you have to have been one.
That's why we are running two businesses of our own.
