We also have business operations in Japan. East Ventures is committed to achieving sustainable development and bringing positive impacts to society through its initiatives and ESG-embedded practices. Our Investment Philosophy We have a unique method to assess and decide to invest in potential startups. The firm used the “3P” – People, Product, and Potential Market – to assess the potential investment. However, we realize that “2P” – People and Potential Market – are enough in helping us to evaluate the investment. People: We believe that good founders have three core traits: integrity, high-level self-awareness and paradoxical trait. Potential Market: We always ask the founders about the potential market size and the target of a reasonable market they want to see. The philosophy has carried East Ventures to be a fast decision maker in dealing with investments. The deals can be done within 24-48 hours.

We support entrepreneurs across Southeast Asia, and selectively India. What we believeTALENT: Successful entrepreneurs are rare and possess a unique combination… The vision, grit and passion of a true entrepreneur combined with the analytics and problem-solving skills, discipline, ethics and teamwork required of a professional in a top-tier institution creates the right capability to rapidly execute a long-term viable business model with strong economic performance. TECHNOLOGY: Technology, wisely used, is transformative… Technology is ubiquitous today, disruption is not. All businesses need to harness technology efficiently & effectively. The insight lies in the ability to visualize when, where, and how technology can engineer a distinctive and sustainable leader in a different future. TRACTION: Brilliant sparks need sustained oxygen to create a firestorm... Success of an early stage start-up is largely measured by achieving successful future financing. Traction and trajectory are critical; a well-defined yet flexible roadmap with milestones and measurement are often ignored by many start-ups … as is knowing when and how to pivot in a timely manner. Vison without action is hallucination… How we workTOGETHER: A true partnership creates real synergies… We strive to be true partners of aspirational founders with exceptional visions. A true partnership harnesses different skill sets and assets and works together for one goal. We believe we are in the journey together and thus support our founders in all facets of their business building program. TRUSTING: Mutual trust and respect is a cornerstone… We recognize that trust is not elusive soft fluff; it is created and earned and becomes a leverageable asset, especially when founders are in uncharted territories and in times of turbulence. We aim to create trust-based partnerships with our founders with open and truthful communication that can make a difference towards a business’s success. Start-ups may have to pivot their strategies or markets during the early stages. Discussions can be difficult and controversial, but trust makes them constructive and fruitful. TENACIOUS: Moving forward, constantly evolving, continuously improving, goes a long way…Resilience, the agility to pivot, the ability to survive a storm – all success stories go through challenges first. True grit and executing the conviction of a vision are often the key to holding it all together. We believe in our entrepreneurs, and we do what it takes to support them to constantly move forward.
