Wavemaker Partners launches $40.37m fund for SEA Series B startups

It aims to back eight to 12 companies, investing between $4m to $10.76m.

Wavemaker Partners has announced a $40.37m (US$30m) first close of its Wavemaker Growth Opportunities Fund, focusing on enterprise, deep tech, and sustainability startups in Southeast Asia at Series B stage and beyond.

The fund plans to back eight to 12 companies, investing between $4m (US$3m) to $10.76m (US$8m) each, as part of syndicate rounds averaging $26.91 (US$20m), potentially including both equity and debt partners. This aims to deepen investment in companies already within Wavemaker’s portfolio.

Key backers include QLA Investment and Cercano Management.

This move aligns with Wavemaker's rebranding under a unified structure, which now covers Wavemaker Ventures, Wavemaker Impact, and Wavemaker Growth to offer end-to-end support for startups.

The initiative seeks to address the operational and funding challenges often faced by startups at the Series B stage, where specialised regional support has historically been limited.

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.
