Client Profile
A Singapore-based single-family office with $200M AUM seeking to allocate 15% of its portfolio to direct venture and growth equity investments.
The Challenge
The family had no direct investment team, no deal flow pipeline, and no framework for evaluating venture-stage opportunities. Previous angel investments had been ad hoc with poor returns.
Our Approach
Nirji designed the direct investment mandate: sector thesis (deep-tech and climate-tech), geographic focus (ASEAN + India), stage preference (Series A-B), and portfolio construction framework. We then sourced and evaluated 40+ deals over 12 months.
Solution Delivered
Deployed $18M across 6 carefully selected investments with an average entry valuation of 12x revenue. Two portfolio companies have already marked up 2.5x within 18 months.
