The Wild Ventures launched with $1m backing from global founders

The funding round included participation from high-profile names such as Alex Bouaziz (Deel).

The Wild Ventures officially launched with an oversubscribed $1m angel funding round, drawing backing from prominent founders and investors across the global startup ecosystem. 

The funding round included participation from high-profile names such as Alex Bouaziz (Deel), JJ Chai (Rainforest), En Ming Ong (Rocket Eyewear), Zenos Schmickrath (Hmlet), and investors from Creandum, Peak Capital, Lassie, and Global Founders Capital. Their support signals growing investor appetite for scalable, mission-driven consumer ventures in Asia.

The Wild Ventures aims to emulate the scale and reach of legacy conglomerates like P&G and LVMH, but with a focus on sustainability and ethical business. Its model blends in-house brand creation with strategic investments in external brands that align with its mission.

The company has already launched three in-house brands, including Wild Palace, a Scandinavian wallpaper line that recently debuted in the US market with a sustainability-first approach; Poositive Pets, which offers compostable dog waste bags and removes additional plastic from the environment with every sale; and Future Paper, which sells bamboo paper products, planting trees for each purchase and enabling customers to trace their impact through QR-coded data.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
