Venturi Partners, a Singapore-based growth-stage investor, has announced the launch of its second fund, aiming to raise $225m with a hard cap of $250m. This initiative focuses on high-growth sectors such as retail, education, healthcare, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) in India and Southeast Asia. The firm plans to achieve a first close of $130m by June 2025, supported by strong backing from existing investors.
Building on the success of its first fund, which raised $180m in April 2022, Venturi Partners has already invested in seven high-growth consumer companies, including Livspace, Country Delight, and Pickup Coffee. The new fund will continue Venturi’s strategy of supporting consumer brands that are disrupting their sectors and offering innovative solutions tailored to the evolving needs of Asian consumers.
Nicholas Cator, founder of Venturi Partners, stated, “Our investment philosophy remains unchanged, backing brands that create meaningful change and deliver innovative solutions to consumers. We take an active ownership approach with our portfolio companies, working closely with founders to help unlock growth and scale their businesses.”
Venturi’s hands-on approach involves collaborating closely with management teams to scale operations and create lasting value. This strategy has established the firm as a trusted partner for founders in the region. Founded in 2020, Venturi Partners continues to focus on consumer-centric, purpose-driven brands that aim to make a positive impact in Asia.
