​

While we are managing a pool of capital, we do not think of ourselves as fund managers. The fun and focus of our work is partnering with entrepreneurs to help bring ideas to life and multiply their impact.

ABOUT US

WE DEPLOY DISTINCTIVE CAPABILITIES TO SUPPORT EXCEPTIONAL ENTREPRENEURS WHO ARE CREATING AND GROWING BREAKTHROUGH BUSINESSES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

LOCALLY PRESENT

​Based in Southeast Asia, our team includes experienced investors who live locally. We are intimately familiar with the opportunities and risks of our markets and close to our ventures to maximize support.

GLOBAL

While our team is focused on Southeast Asia, it is a multi-national team with investment and business experience in Asia, Europe and North America.

We also have a base in Europe, close to investors and derive synergies from our distinctive Euro-Asia nature.

LIFE-CYCLE INVESTORS

We believe in supporting ventures with hands-on support through their growth  cycle.

This way, our value proposition is to help ventures grow from Seed Stage to later rounds of capital and maximize Enterprise Value creation.

LEAD INVESTOR

As established impact investors in Southeast Asia, UBERIS often acts as a lead for co-investors, who provide flexible firepower to UBERIS in helping our ventures to scale fast.

​

We provide co-investors opportunities to select high potential investment targets from our robust regional screening and due diligence process.

Co-investing with UBERIS allows access to ventures on par with our investment terms and benefits from our collaborative approach with entrepreneurs.

HANDS-ON

As former entrepreneurs, we know what it takes to build an innovative enterprise from scratch in the difficult markets of Southeast Asia. Our experience helps our entrepreneurs build resilient ventures, navigate risks and scale businesses.

We are prepared to invest at an early stage as little as $50,000 in high potential businesses through Technical Assistance loans and then through multiple rounds of capital from $100,000 up to $2m.

COMMITED IMPACTORS

We are committed to deliver significant changes to poverty and climate change. We back innovations, intent on showing how issues such as climate change, food security, water scarcity, ocean and land contamination, poverty, slavery, human trafficking can be addressed through commercially viable solutions.

Our commitment is through risk capital and time but also through contribution to publication and teaching.

IDEA

We look for innovative business ideas with good commercial applicability. It must be demonstrated by some
early proof of concept.

INTENTION

We look for entrepreneurs who are intentional in solving People and Planet problems. It must be core in their business model and not a mere “positive externality”.

We are “Triple Bottom Line” investors.

We look for growth in numbers: Sales, Profitability and Enterprise Value as much as we look for multiples in social and environmental impact.
