VC firms in Singapore can be a starting point for identifying potential investors, but a high deal count alone does not establish fit. This guide presents eight firms by recorded investments and outlines how you can assess stage, sector, geography, and outreach priorities.
Which VC firms in Singapore are worth researching?
The firms below are ranked by investment count recorded in the Round Funded catalog. The counts describe deals on file, not fund size or the likelihood that a firm will invest or respond. The list includes each firm’s location, count, and sector information where available; it does not provide contact details.
Use the ranking to generate research leads, then check whether a firm’s focus matches your company and round. The firms are listed from the highest recorded count to the lowest.
- Antler (Singapore): 1,022 investments on record; sectors include Artificial Intelligence, Fintech and Consumer & Retail.
- Granite Asia (Singapore): 500 investments on record; sectors include Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Automation and Manufacturing & Industrial.
- HashKey Capital (Singapore): 400 investments on record; sectors include Crypto & Web3, Fintech and Artificial Intelligence.
- Hatcher+ (Singapore): 375 investments on record; sectors include Artificial Intelligence, SaaS & Enterprise and Fintech.
- One Tree Hill Ventures (Singapore): 200 investments on record.
- Temasek Holdings (Singapore): 196 investments on record.
- VentureBlick (Singapore): 147 investments on record; sectors include Healthcare & Biotech, Digital Health & HealthTech and MedTech & Medical Devices.
- BXR Partners LLP (Singapore): 102 investments on record.
The sector labels can help you decide which profiles to examine first. For example, the recorded sectors for VentureBlick include healthcare categories, while HashKey Capital’s include Crypto & Web3. These labels are useful clues for research, not a substitute for checking whether a firm’s investment approach suits your company.
How can you tell whether a firm fits your startup?
Start with the stage of your business and the stage at which a firm invests. A company seeking pre-seed capital should prioritize firms that list pre-seed or seed rather than assuming that any firm with a broad stage range is equally relevant.
Then assess the other parts of the match:
- Sector: Look for evidence of relevant investments, not only broad descriptions of a firm’s interests.
- Geography: Check whether your company’s location is within the firm’s stated focus.
- Check size: Confirm that the firm’s investment range suits the round you are raising.
- Recent activity: Review whether recent deals indicate that the firm is investing.
- Potential conflicts: Consider whether a portfolio investment could create a conflict for your company.
No single item on this checklist confirms that a firm will invest. Taken together, the factors can help you prioritize research and avoid treating a large catalog count as a measure of individual fit.
How many investors should you put on your target list?
A focused set of prospective investors is easier to research than an unfiltered list. The suggested approach is to narrow a broad universe to roughly 30 to 60 firms that fit your stage, sector, and geography. You can then organize those prospects into three groups:
- 10 to 15 strongest fits: Firms whose stated focus and investment activity appear especially relevant.
- 20 to 25 strong fits: Firms with a plausible match that merit further review.
- Remaining plausible targets: Firms that may fit, but need more qualification.
This tiering gives you a way to sequence your work. You can begin with strong-fit prospects, review what you learn, and refine your pitch before approaching your highest-priority firms. Keep the list connected to clear criteria rather than expanding it simply to increase the number of names.
What should you include in investor outreach?
Approach fundraising as a process of identifying relevant firms, rather than sending the same message to a broad audience. Review a firm’s portfolio and investment focus, then identify the partner who covers your sector. A warm introduction may be useful when available, but it does not replace checking that the firm is a fit.
Make your first message easy to assess. Use a clear subject line, lead with a relevant proof point, and state a specific ask. Keep the email concise and focused on why your company is contacting that investor. A Data Room link can give the firm access to your deck, traction, team, and ask in one place. Round Funded lets you build and share a Data Room for free on every plan.
You can also structure outreach in batches. After each group, review your target choices and pitch, then make adjustments before moving to the next set. The aim is to make each contact relevant and to spend your time on firms that align with your company’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are these Singapore firms ordered?
The list follows the investment counts recorded in the Round Funded catalog, from highest to lowest. Those counts reflect deals on file; they do not indicate fund size or predict an investment decision.
Does a larger deal count mean a firm is more likely to invest?
No. A count alone cannot establish whether a firm will invest in your company. Check its stage, sector, geography, check size, and recent activity to assess fit.
How can you identify firms that invest at your stage?
Review each firm’s stated stage focus and investment activity. If you are raising at pre-seed, give priority to firms that list pre-seed or seed, then check sector, geography, and check size.
Does the ranking include investor contact details?
No. The list provides firm names, locations, investment counts, and sector information when available. You will need to identify the relevant contact as part of your own research.
