SEEDS Capital appoints six partners to invest $50m in maritime startups

More than 50 Singapore-based startups are expected to benefit.

Investment arm of Enterprise Singapore (ESG), SEEDS Capital has appointed six co-investment partners to catalyse a combined $50m of investments into maritime technology startups, according to an announcement.

The six partners are Innoport, KSL Maritime Ventures, PSA unboXed, Rainmaking, ShipsFocus-Quest Ventures and TecPier. Over 50 Singapore-based startups are expected to benefit from the joint investments.

This aims to drive the growth of the maritime sector through technology and innovation and is supported by ESG and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

SEEDS Capital and the appointed partners will invest in early-stage maritime technology startups to develop solutions that improve operational efficiency and safety across the maritime sector. The partners are said to provide hands-on assistance in helping early-stage startups to fast-track commercialisation.

Since the start of 2020, four virtual sessions have been held profiling Singapore-based startups to 240 investors and corporates in Southeast Asia, China and Europe, facilitating over 120 unique connections.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
