Razer levels up green startups with US$50m fund

The war chest for sustainability startups will be managed by zVentures.

Gaming company Razer will be extending some $66.46m (US$50m) to sustainability startups under its Razer Green Fund, which kicked off with a seed investment to The Nurturing Co..

Razer Green Fund will be managed by its corporate ventures arm, zVentures. It will fund startups geared toward renewable energy, and carbon and plastic management.

The Razer Green Fund forms part of Razer’s 10-year sustainability roadmap under its #GoGreenWithRazerinitiative.

“Since the announcement of our 10-year sustainability roadmap, Razer has been inundated with requests on how startups can accelerate their own green initiatives,” Patricia Liu, Chief of Staff at Razer, said.

“The Razer Green Fund was set up to empower start-ups with positive intentions to further their ambitions.”

The roadmap outlined four key verticals of the company’s commitment for the environment’s protection and preservation.

For its first investment, Razer partnered with The Nurturing Co.’s for its sustainable toilet paper brand “Bambooloo.”

Through this, Bamboo toilet papers will be supplied in Razer’s head offices as well as new ones that will be opening in its Southeast Asian Headquarters.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
