Razer levels up green startups with US$50m fund

The war chest for sustainability startups will be managed by zVentures.

Gaming company Razer will be extending some $66.46m (US$50m) to sustainability startups under its Razer Green Fund, which kicked off with a seed investment to The Nurturing Co..

Razer Green Fund will be managed by its corporate ventures arm, zVentures. It will fund startups geared toward renewable energy, and carbon and plastic management.

The Razer Green Fund forms part of Razer’s 10-year sustainability roadmap under its #GoGreenWithRazerinitiative.

“Since the announcement of our 10-year sustainability roadmap, Razer has been inundated with requests on how startups can accelerate their own green initiatives,” Patricia Liu, Chief of Staff at Razer, said.

“The Razer Green Fund was set up to empower start-ups with positive intentions to further their ambitions.”

The roadmap outlined four key verticals of the company’s commitment for the environment’s protection and preservation.

For its first investment, Razer partnered with The Nurturing Co.’s for its sustainable toilet paper brand “Bambooloo.”

Through this, Bamboo toilet papers will be supplied in Razer’s head offices as well as new ones that will be opening in its Southeast Asian Headquarters.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
