European deep-tech scale-up · APAC mandate

A European deep-tech scale-up with proprietary infrastructure technology and an Asian manufacturing partner needed bridge financing toward a priced Series A round — and APAC commercial traction in parallel. The company had no regional presence, while the strategically aligned investor pools (sovereign, corporate-strategic, deep-tech) sit precisely in the region.

Engaged April 2026 as exclusive APAC business development partner — performance-based, no retainer, 14 markets covered from a Singapore base. Built a three-track investor approach across sovereign and government-linked funds, deep-tech and infrastructure VCs at bridge ticket size, and corporate-strategic capital adjacent to the company's existing supply-chain partner. Running parallel due diligence, qualifying introductions through targeted bilateral meetings, and protecting deal choreography across founder, board, and the European lead investor.
