Quest Ventures

Quest Ventures is a Singapore-headquartered venture capital firm founded in 2011 that invests in early-stage, technology-led companies across Asia. Its stated strategy centres on the digital economy, and it frequently provides a portfolio company's first cheque - entering at a point when few other investors are willing to commit. Investments span artificial intelligence, e-commerce and marketplaces, fintech and digital finance, food technology, logistics, media, property technology and the Islamic digital economy. Named portfolio companies include 99.co, Carousell, Carro, ShopBack and Xfers.

Beyond investing, the firm operates an enterprise innovation and industry transformation practice, working with corporates on innovation initiatives, and runs accelerator and education programmes that connect founders, investors and startup ecosystems. Its stated focus on social good extends to financial inclusion, gender, healthcare and education.

Geographic presence is anchored in Singapore with activity across Southeast Asia and Central Asia and an Asia-wide network. The firm describes itself as more than a source of capital - acting as a sounding board and provider of practical guidance, connections and support - and reports working closely with entrepreneurs and local partners in the markets where innovation is taking place.
