Investing at the intersection of purpose and profit.
We back founders tackling the biggest global challenge of our time: helping humanity get to a more sustainable planet.
All firms evolve with time. But some things at Amasia are unchanging:
- Substance is our style: We bring a depth of curiosity, passion, and thoughtfulness to everything we do and every company we support.
- Few and focused: We make a small number of investments every year so we can bring the focus and engagement our founders need and deserve.
- A worldview that involves the world: We bring global experience and networks to growing global companies.
- Founder responsible: We approach every relationship with candor and respect — we will always speak plainly.
We invest in companies that help us get to a safer and more sustainable planet.
Using a nuanced framework designed around behavior change, we:
- invest in founders with global ambitions…
- …at the Seed to Series B stage…
- …across the United States, Southeast Asia, India, Europe and Latin America.
We facilitate their growth with access to:
- global markets,
- global best practices,
- and global knowledge.
Behavior change is our investment framework.
We have built a framework for thinking about behavior change that informs how and where we invest. We call it the “4 Rs of Behavior Change." Each category is guided by a fundamental question that seeks answers across sectors and geographies
R1 Review
How do we help consumers, corporations and governments make better data-driven decisions about climate and sustainability? Examples in this category include climate intelligence companies such as Clarity and carbon footprint companies such as Joro.
R2 Renew
How can we turbocharge the shift in views on consumption towards re-use and recycling? In this category, we look for companies that encourage people to buy less stuff, like the community trading platform Isthmus.
R3 Rethink
How do we help build the infrastructure required for a dramatic expansion in remote services? This category includes companies that contribute to both sustainability and convenience, including remote work technologies like Dialpad and remote learning platforms like Skillshare.
R4 Rebuild
How do we help make supply chains for consumer consumption far less wasteful? In this category, we focus on companies like Treedots, which helps reduce food waste, and Super, which simplifies supply chains for consumer goods.
