The Hive is a venture capital fund that co-creates companies using a venture studio model. It works actively with founders to co-create, fund and launch startups focused on AI and Digital Transformation of the Enterprise.
Founded in 2012, The Hive US is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. The Hive US has co-created and invested in 27 companies since its inception including one successful IPO (Pinterest) and seven exits. Notable investors include GE, Verizon, Rockwell Automation, and March Capital. The Hive Brazil and The Hive India are also a part of The Hive US global group of funds.
The Hive Southeast Asia is one of the selected venture capital fund managers under the Malaysian Government’s former Penjana Economic Stimulus Recovery Plan, Dana Penjana Nasional, a RM600 million investment fund established to catalyse start-up growth. The programme, previously managed by PENJANA Kapital, has since been consolidated into Jelawang Capital, Malaysia’s National Fund of Funds under Khazanah Nasional, together with MAVCAP to further strengthen the country’s venture capital ecosystem.
Under this initiative, funds are matched on a 1:1 basis through public–private partnerships. The Hive SEA operates in collaboration with The Hive (US), Tuas Capital Partners, and Sunway Group, and to date has invested in 13 companies across various high-growth sectors.
