Cento Ventures

Founded in 2011, Cento Ventures is a venture capital firm dedicated to supporting early-stage tech startups in Southeast Asia, positioning them to become market leaders. We are a multidisciplinary team of domain experts, fundraisers, deal makers and operators with over 100 years of collective experience in Southeast Asia. Through our deep industry expertise and networks in the region, we are able to offer data-driven insights to help our portfolio founders gain a solid understanding of the tech landscape. At Cento, we love going into the trenches with our founders: we believe that adopting a hands-on approach makes a significant impact on their growth journey. To date, the Cento team has facilitated over a quarter-billion dollars of proceeds earned by our portfolio founders. Cento Ventures adopts an industry-agnostic investment thesis but with a keen interest in digital financial services. We believe embedded finance is critical in catalysing revolutionary change across all business sectors — strengthening value chains at every touchpoint, meeting dynamic industry demands and accelerating digital transformation.
