Investment thesis
ASIF Ventures focuses on supporting student and recent graduate founders at the earliest stages, particularly those connected to the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit. Founded by students, the fund was created to back young entrepreneurs when traditional investors would not. Beyond capital, ASIF provides founders with access to resources, networks, and guidance, positioning itself as a launchpad for future entrepreneurs. Having supported 25 startups since its inception, ASIF operates as a community-driven fund built by the very community it serves.

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
