SEEDS Capital

About

As the investment arm of Enterprise Singapore, SEEDS Capital seeks to catalyse smart monies into Singapore-based, early-stage technology startups. We co-invest with institutional investors in innovative startups with strong intellectual content and global market potential. Currently, we have over 100 deep tech startups in our portfolio and we work with more than 40 co-investment partners. Our partners are institutional investors such as venture capital firms and investment arms of corporates.

We focus on startups in nascent and strategic industries with future potential such as Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering (AME), Health & Biomedical Sciences (HBMS), and Urban Solutions & Sustainability (USS). We also look at other emerging technologies such as Agri-tech, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Quantum Computing and Space Technologies.

Post-investment, we leverage ESG’s networks across industries and global overseas centres to add value to our portfolio companies.

As one of the entities appointed to manage funds under Startup SG Equity, we invest in startups with the following criteria:

General tech Deep tech

Investment cap for each startup

S$2M from SEEDS Capital

S$8M from SEEDS Capital

Co-investment ratio
(SEEDS Capital: co-investor)

7:3 up to the first S$250K from SEEDS Capital;

1:1 thereafter, up to S$4M;

Our Co-Investment Approaches

We co-invest through two approaches:

With appointed co-investment partners in strategic, nascent industries

  • Partners are appointed through Call-For-Proposals (CFPs).
  • We will launch new CFPs from time to time. As part of new CFPs, we will also hold public briefing sessions and share detailed specifications.
  • Past calls were focused on the AME, HBMS and USS sectors.

With other third party co-investors into startups

  • Startups may approach SEEDS Capital for co-investments with third-party institutional co-investors, who are able to add strategic value to startups post-investment.
  • We will assess the eligibility of co-investors and startups.
  • Startups in strategic and nascent sectors, as well as emerging ones such as Agri-tech, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Quantum Computing, and Space Technologies are eligible to apply.
  • Deals will be presented to and evaluated by our Investment Committee comprising experienced industry and investment executives.
