VC Fund Accelerating Asia's 36 Startups raises collective US$27M till date

Its startups may now receive up to US$250,000 investment.

VC fund Accelerating Asia has raised a total of US$27m, approximately S$36.2m, from its 36 high-growth startups.

Accelerating Asia also announced that it will be increasing its investment amount with startups now eligible to US$250,000 from only $150,000 previously.

The VC firm added 11 new startups to its portfolio in 2021, and injected follow-on funding into portfolio companies, including India-based, ProjectPro, agritech/fintech company iFarmer and Numu.

“We worked closely with each startup on their product strategy, fundraising and growth during and after the 100-day program,” Accelerating Asia Co-Founder and General Partner Craig Bristol Dixon said.

“Their potential for continued growth and expansion is evidenced by their ability to raise capital from highly respected investors that Accelerating Asia introduced them to.”

Across the portfolio, startups that completed the flagship accelerator programme in 2019 and 2020 have almost tripled monthly recurring revenue to US$27,000 in 2021, up from over US$9,000 at the start of the programme.

The graduating startups in Cohort 4 are also on track to deliver impressive results, with startups gaining market share and traction among investors.

Cohort 4 startups raised US$5m, on top of the US$1m worth of soft commitments. This brings the total capital to US$6m, raising the amount to 70% of the startups’ collective fundraising goals in the past 100 days.

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.
