Singapore venture builder 100x100 launches US$100M fund for 50 climate startups — Eco-Business
The Singapore-based builder will found and scale 50 companies across Southeast Asia and India in emissions-heavy sectors, energy, food, materials and supply chains, with early bets like methane-cutting rice tech and Philippine residential solar.
Positive-sum angle: A venture-builder model spreads one fund's operating playbook across fifty companies, so each founder inherits shared hiring, procurement, and carbon-accounting muscle. The region's climate talent compounds in a network rather than scattering, and every exit seeds the next cohort.
What's the impact: ASEAN operators in energy, agri-food, and logistics should position as buildable wedges for venture studios now, before the 2027 procurement contracts get written. The picks-and-shovels play sits in measurement, financing, and supply-chain rails, not hardware alone.
