Artesian invests in technology startups that can deliver outsize returns and impact at scale by solving the world’s critical problems.
We are one of the Asia Pacific region’s most active early-stage venture capital investors, with a portfolio of over 625 startups (pre-seed to Series A) focused on climate, agrifood, health, artificial intelligence & robotics, education, and gender equality.
Our later-stage continuation funds (Series B to growth) invest in the top startups from this unique pre-screened and de-risked pipeline and provide additional co-investment opportunities to our LPs.
The iconic outback windmill logo represents our mission to tap unrecognized value and deliver sustainable performance in challenging environments.
