Investment thesis

Narra Venture Capital backs private high-technology companies with strong, defensible competitive barriers rooted in cutting-edge technology or its efficient deployment. In Silicon Valley and comparable technology hubs, it invests in semiconductors and related products, converged communication systems, computing platforms, and software and related services, with more recent smaller bets on promising Internet startups. The firm distinctively bridges its investments to Asia, offering introductions to markets and partners, and in the Philippines and broader Asia it seeks companies in software services, electronic manufacturing services, design services, and customized information systems suited to developing regions. It manages two funds backed by founding LPs including TallwoodVC and Ayala Corporation.
