January Capital

About

January Capital is a Singapore-based investment firm that provides venture capital and growth credit to technology companies built in or for the Asia-Pacific region. Its venture capital strategy aims to be a founder's first institutional investor, often at the pre-product or pre-revenue stage, with typical initial investments of US$0.5 million to US$2 million and the ability to deploy up to US$25 million from specialised capital pools as companies scale. The venture team focuses on four themes: the next generation of commerce, the plumbing of financial services, accelerated change in essential sectors such as healthcare, energy transition and agriculture, and software built in Asia for the rest of the world. Its growth credit strategy offers debt financing to sponsor-backed, growth-stage technology companies, with cheques typically ranging from US$5 million to US$15 million. Fintech companies in its portfolio include GajiGesa, Akulaku and Tazapay, and the firm also runs The First, a content and programme platform for founders.
