The Wild Ventures launched with $1m backing from global founders

The funding round included participation from high-profile names such as Alex Bouaziz (Deel).

The Wild Ventures officially launched with an oversubscribed $1m angel funding round, drawing backing from prominent founders and investors across the global startup ecosystem. 

The funding round included participation from high-profile names such as Alex Bouaziz (Deel), JJ Chai (Rainforest), En Ming Ong (Rocket Eyewear), Zenos Schmickrath (Hmlet), and investors from Creandum, Peak Capital, Lassie, and Global Founders Capital. Their support signals growing investor appetite for scalable, mission-driven consumer ventures in Asia.

The Wild Ventures aims to emulate the scale and reach of legacy conglomerates like P&G and LVMH, but with a focus on sustainability and ethical business. Its model blends in-house brand creation with strategic investments in external brands that align with its mission.

The company has already launched three in-house brands, including Wild Palace, a Scandinavian wallpaper line that recently debuted in the US market with a sustainability-first approach; Poositive Pets, which offers compostable dog waste bags and removes additional plastic from the environment with every sale; and Future Paper, which sells bamboo paper products, planting trees for each purchase and enabling customers to trace their impact through QR-coded data.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
