About
Altara Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm backing passionate founders in Southeast Asia and beyond.
The path to entrepreneurial success is not linear. It often takes various turns, pivots, and overcoming of key challenges to get on to the right trail and trajectory. It is akin to scaling a mountain, conquering multiple switchbacks before reaching the very top.
We invest in early-stage businesses, leading rounds, and backing our companies with follow on capital as they grow. We are the largest and most proven Singapore-based, Southeast Asian VC partnership with extensive global investment experience. We are business builders at our core. Each GP was once a founder or early executive in a company that generated over US$1 billion in IPO proceeds in Asia and the United States (Omni, Zynga, Zuora).
We apply deep domain expertise to our sourcing and portfolio work, having invested in over 100 companies across enterprise technology, consumer internet, financial services, logistics, education, and healthcare. We are driven by our values of integrity, the attitude of excellence, and long-term alignment. We are committed to generating returns over building AUM, which keeps us focused on our founders, not on our fundraising.
