Investment thesis
Amasia follows a single-bottom-line investment approach grounded in the belief that long-term value comes from companies that help humans live healthier, happier lives. The firm invests in software or software-enabled businesses, typically entering at the seed or Series A stage. Amasia prefers to lead or co-lead rounds but is open to occasionally following. It intentionally makes a limited number of investments each year to ensure it can fully support each portfolio company.
