BRAVE Southeast Asia Tech: Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand & Malaysia Startups, Founders & Venture Capital VC (English) · AI Workforce Compression, SGX Liquidity Gaps & Singapore’s Startup Reckoning with Adriel Yong – E673 · 25 Feb 2026 podcast

I think that's you know some of the challenges on the early stage side.

So because of that, I think we should have ESVF 2.0 and actually seed a new generation of emerging fund managers.

I think the Middle East is doing that so aggressively, they're probably like tens of millions per fund manager to get them set up shop, launch funds here, invest in the local

ecosystem.

Today Enterprise Singapore, they do a lot of co investments with like their fund partners, right?

So I think this will be your established funds, like your Monksil, your Peak Fifteen.

But I think, you know, you need to go further upstream and like, you know, do co investments with angel investors.

So give them some economics.

You know, we bring so many talented like tech executives and you know tech entrepreneurs to Singapore through like EDB and the visas, right?

but we don't really like leverage on them to like support, you know, the local ecosystem.

You know, give them like sculpt checks to deploy, right?

You know, and like get them involved in the local ecosystem, sort of like encourage them to start funds here and co invest into the funds started Python.

I think that's one way we can get the very early stage part of the ecosystem off the ground.

And at the end of the day, like ecosystems are like decades in making if we

Do not aggressively do it now.

I feel like there might be a lost decade for startups in Singapore.

That's fair.

I mean actually an interesting part also there is that founders also want minimum check sizes because they don't want like twenty-five K checks on their cap table with crazy messy.

So obviously a lot of syndicate leaders do like SPVs.

But there is actually a policy and regulatory gap around like SPVs and like syndication of like early stage angel checks.
