Investment thesis
SC Ventures believes banking plays a critical role in society and seeks to rebuild the relationship by constructing and scaling innovative business models. The firm targets three core themes: bridging the digital adoption gap in banking to serve uncovered client segments, facilitating global trade particularly for SMEs in emerging markets, and building institutional-grade digital capabilities for financial services. The venture building model is refined through six years of experience and supported by disciplined portfolio management, with selective investments in partners developed through direct collaboration.
