Peak XV Partners began in 2006 as Sequoia Capital India before later expanding to cover Southeast Asia as well. In June 2023, Sequoia Capital announced a global restructuring — citing the difficulty of running a decentralized worldwide investment business amid geopolitical tensions — that split the firm into three fully independent entities: Sequoia Capital (retaining the name, focused on the U.S. and Europe), HongShan (the China business, led by Neil Shen), and the India/Southeast Asia business, which rebranded as Peak XV Partners and became a genuinely separate, standalone firm (with the full separation completing by March 2024). Peak XV's leadership includes Shailendra Singh, GV Ravishankar, Mohit Bhatnagar, and Rajan Anandan. As of its own current disclosures, Peak XV manages over $10 billion in assets under management across more than 450 portfolio investments, with 36 IPOs across 5 countries to date, and maintains offices in the United States, India, Singapore, and the UAE. Its portfolio includes Zomato, Meesho, OYO Rooms, BlinkIt, Razorpay, CRED, Groww, Pine Labs, and Southeast Asian companies GoTo Group and Kopi Kenangan.

Quest Ventures is a Singapore-based venture capital firm founded in 2011 by James Tan and Wang Yunming (also known for co-founding the Chinese group-buying company 55tuan). The firm reports over US$80 million in assets under management and describes itself as among the top 10 most active investors in Southeast Asia and Central Asia, with a portfolio of 150+ companies across roughly 150 cities in Asia as of the mid-2020s. Its named portfolio spans marketplaces, fintech, proptech, and media, including well-known Southeast Asian names such as Carousell, ShopBack, 99.co, Carro, Xfers, and Kredivo. Checking its own portfolio listing directly for this profile, no company was found explicitly tagged to the Philippines — its identifiable geographic activity concentrates in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and other parts of Southeast and Central Asia, without a confirmed Philippine investment.

Rebright Partners is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2008 by Takeshi Ebihara, a 30-year venture capital veteran and serial entrepreneur who previously founded internet companies including one that reached a public listing. The firm is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with additional offices in Bengaluru, India and Singapore, and describes itself as "the gateway between Japan, ASEAN and India" — backed by prominent Japanese corporate and institutional investors and leveraging that network to help portfolio startups expand regionally and forge partnerships with major Japanese technology companies. Its investment team includes Partner Brij Bhasin (co-founder of GSF Accelerator, an early advisor at Little Eye Labs, which was acquired by Facebook in 2014) and Principal Mahesh Kumar (formerly of Sony Innovation Fund). The firm has built a portfolio of more than 35 companies across India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, spanning healthcare (MediBuddy, Virohan, Nivaan, Instalimb), e-commerce (Bukalapak, Qraved, Elanic), edtech (Codingal, Stimuler), logistics and mobility (LetsTransport, ClickPost, Numocity — later acquired by ABB e-Mobility), agritech (Aquaconnect, Eggoz), and fintech/insurtech. Its one confirmed Philippine investment is Coins.ph, the cryptocurrency and blockchain-based financial services platform.

SIG Venture Capital is the direct-investment venture arm of Susquehanna International Group (SIG), a privately-held quantitative trading and financial services firm founded in May 1987 by Jeff Yass, Arthur Dantchik, and a group of co-founders, headquartered in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. SIG is one of the world's largest privately-held financial services firms, with over $868 billion in total assets and 2024 revenue of $7.2 billion, built primarily on market-making, institutional brokerage, and proprietary trading in equities, fixed income, and derivatives. Its venture arm — often branded SIG Asia VC given its long regional history — has been actively investing in startups for more than 15 years, expanding into China in 2005 and Japan in 2014, and operates from SIG's global office network spanning the US, Europe (Dublin, London), and Asia (Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo). A distinguishing feature of SIG Venture Capital is that it invests its own permanent capital rather than raising and deploying a traditional fund with a fixed lifecycle — this lets it commit to portfolio companies over long, flexible time horizons across deal types and stages from Series A through pre-IPO. The team of 20+ investment and operations professionals has backed more than 50 companies with a combined reported revenue exceeding $2.5 billion and combined EBITDA over $350 million. Its best-known investment is ByteDance, where SIG made an initial $5 million bet in 2012 that had grown to a stake worth more than $15 billion by 2020; other confirmed investments include enterprise fintech company HighRadius, Indian grocery startup Otipy (which SIG led a $10.2 million Series A for), Chinese game-development platform MetaApp (SIG led a $100 million round), and Indonesian dental-care platform Satu Dental (a since-exited position).

IMPORTANT VERIFICATION CAVEAT — read before publishing: this entry could NOT be independently confirmed via live sources this session. Both plausible official domains (untrodcapital.com and www.untrodcapital.com) currently redirect to a GoDaddy "domain for sale" parking page rather than a live company site, and repeated attempts to find the firm via LinkedIn, Wikipedia, and multiple search engines (Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Marginalia) either returned no result, were blocked by bot-detection, or returned entirely unrelated content. No press coverage (Inc42, Entrackr, YourStory, Economic Times) could be reached or returned a match either. Based only on the task brief's own framing — which this session could not confirm or refute from any live source — UntroD Capital is described as an India-focused impact/venture fund. No founders, headquarters, fund size, or portfolio companies could be verified. This entry should be treated as unconfirmed and either re-researched with better source access or dropped from the directory rather than published as-is.
