SEEDS Capital

About

As the investment arm of Enterprise Singapore, SEEDS Capital supports the growth of promising Singapore-based startups. We co-invest with independent investors in innovative startups with strong intellectual content and global market potential.

We partner startups to commercialise and expand globally by leveraging the expertise and strategic networks of our co-investment partners, in areas such as technology translation, commercialisation and market expansion.

Currently, we work with more than 500 deep tech startups, and over 40 incubators, accelerators and venture capital firms. We focus on startups in nascent and strategic industries such as Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering (AME), Health & Biomedical Sciences (HBMS), and Urban Sustainability & Solutions (USS). We also look at other emerging technologies such as Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, and Agri-tech.

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

Our Co-Investment Approaches

We co-invest through two approaches:

With appointed co-investment partners in strategic, nascent industries

  • Partners are appointed through Calls-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 in all industries

  • Startups may approach SEEDS Capital for co-investments with third-party co-investors.
  • We will assess the eligibility of co-investors and startups.
  • Startups in all industries across Fintech to Space Technologies are welcome to apply.
  • Deals will be presented to and evaluated by our Investment Committee comprising experienced industry & investment executives.
