VERIFICATION FINDING (per explicit request): Granite Asia is confirmed, via two independent current sources (Wikipedia's Granite Asia and GGV Capital articles, cross-checked against each other, plus the firm's own live official site) to be the genuine, currently-operating Asia-focused successor to GGV Capital's business. In September 2023, GGV Capital announced it would split its U.S. and Asia operations following a U.S. House Select Committee investigation into American venture capital's exposure to Chinese technology investments. The split completed on March 29, 2024, dividing GGV into two fully independent firms: Granite Asia (continuing the Asia-focused business — China, Southeast Asia, and South Asia — headquartered in Singapore) and Notable Capital (the separate, independent U.S.-focused successor). Granite Asia is genuinely active today, not a dormant rebrand — its official site (graniteasia.com) shows real, current 2025-2026 activity, including a $350+ million first close of a pan-Asia private credit fund (backed by Temasek, Khazanah, and the Indonesia Investment Authority, closed December 2025) and a $110 million AI-focused IPO fund launched with DBS in February 2026. LinkedIn lists the firm's founding year as 2000, reflecting continuity with GGV Capital's original founding date rather than a fresh 2024 start. Granite Asia is led by Jenny Lee and Jixun Foo (both longtime GGV Capital partners) and reports AUM figures of $8.5 billion (per Wikipedia, 2025) to $10 billion (per its own site) in assets and co-managed capital, spanning venture capital, growth equity, and a newer private-credit business run partly through its Libra Hybrid Capital strategy. The firm also manages independent yuan-denominated funds in China through its subsidiary Jiyuan Capital. Its investment themes span consumer growth, enterprise workflow and supply chain, food systems and sustainability, health innovation, and energy transition/automation. Confirmed current and legacy portfolio companies include Manycore (an AI company Granite Asia/GGV has backed since 2014, through to IPO), Aureka (an AI-native biotech company that raised a $100 million Series B with Granite Asia's backing), Galatek (AI-enabled semiconductor automation), and Notta (AI transcription, backed via a Granite-Integral joint venture). One notable legacy investment, Chinese AI firm Megvii, was flagged by GGV/Granite Asia as an exit target following US sanctions.

Kejora Capital is a venture capital firm founded by Sebastian Togelang, operating with offices in both Singapore and Jakarta and investing primarily in Southeast Asia's digital economy, with a particular concentration in Indonesia. (Note: this session could not independently confirm Kejora Capital's exact founding year through any live, fetchable source — the firm's own site, kejoracapital.com, returned no readable content, and no dedicated Wikipedia article exists; other commonly-cited co-founder names for the wider Kejora Group could not be independently confirmed either and are deliberately not stated here as fact. Stated honestly rather than guessed.) The firm has run several distinct fund vehicles: a continuation fund of more than $150 million backed by Singapore's GIC (Government of Singapore Investment Corporation), used in part to back Indonesian logistics company SiCepat Ekspres; the SBI Kejora Orbit Fund I, a $30 million early-stage vehicle formed jointly with Japan's SBI Holdings; and a $25 million Series A-focused Malaysia fund launched in partnership with Sunway Group and anchored by MAVCAP, Malaysia's state-backed venture capital agency. Its Sebastian Togelang later went on to found a separate, independent venture firm, Rigel Capital. Portfolio companies include SiCepat Ekspres and Hipwee.
