500 Global’s Southeast Asia funds have backed over 300+ companies, including $1B+ companies Grab, Bukalapak, Carousell, Carsome, FinAccel, and eFishery³. This is just the beginning – we are actively growing to serve more founders, as well as connect startups with capital, expertise, and global networks to help them succeed.

To uplift people and economies through entrepreneurship

We believe these will be the growth areas in Southeast Asia, and actively invest in the region’s most talented entrepreneurs shaping the future.

Sustainable Cities

Cities are the lifeblood of Southeast Asia which we believe will be home to almost 400 million people by 2030.

Can technology transform our cities into environmentally sustainable havens through innovations in energy, transport, waste management, food and agriculture?

Can these cities bring us closer in a safe and empathetic way?

Rural Digitalization

The story of cities is only part of the story.

Can we include and uplift the rest of our region and seize the rural technology opportunity?

Can we build solutions that help leapfrog rural development and provide people with the same access and conveniences as cities?

Financial Inclusivity

The digital economy depends heavily on financial infrastructure to connect us together.

We believe financial technology and embedded finance can usher in a new era of financial inclusion and returns, from smoothing income volatility, access to credit, to insurance that matters.

Can we architect a financial-savvy world where no one is left behind?

Human & Machine Productivity

Technology can profoundly impact a nation’s future through increases in productivity and GDP.

Likewise, we believe competition is also making technology adoption among MSMEs and large enterprises a necessity.

Can ed-tech, machine middleware, low and no-code software solutions, SaaS platforms, and other innovations build more resilient economies?

Food Security

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Yet, food availability, accessibility, and quality are being challenged by climate change and urbanization.

Can technology help 8 billion people gain access to nutritious food, while expanding income opportunities for small farmers?

Can we develop technologies to strengthen the resilience of food systems and crops?

Healthcare

We believe healthcare is often overlooked and underinvested, until it is too late. The recent pandemic has underscored the importance of taking care of ourselves.

To us, this “self-care” extends beyond just the body and also into the mind and spirit.

How will technology help us take care of ourselves and each other holistically?
