Investment thesis
Hive Ventures invests in new ventures powering the new economy, focusing on data and AI startups across Asia. As former entrepreneurs and operators who built businesses from zero to one and took companies public on NASDAQ, the team typically serves as the first institutional investor backing founders and stays actively involved from pre-seed through IPO. The firm emphasizes hands-on support across product and technology, people operations, go-to-market, and fundraising, and leverages a network of corporate and sector partners across the region to help portfolio companies build, scale, and raise capital.
