SPH Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), the Singaporean media and property conglomerate whose media business was restructured into the not-for-profit SPH Media Trust in 2021. Per its own investment activity, the firm has backed more than 40 companies to date, primarily across Southeast Asia, investing alongside other regional funds such as Quest Ventures. (Note: this session could not independently confirm SPH Ventures' exact founding year, current fund size, or its precise organizational status following SPH's 2021 media-business restructuring through any live, fetchable source — SPH's own corporate site and SPH Media's site could not be accessed by this session's tools, and no dedicated Wikipedia article exists for the venture arm. Stated honestly rather than guessed; should be confirmed directly before publishing.) Documented investments include Partipost (an influencer-marketing platform, which SPH Ventures led a $3.5 million round for), influence.co (a US-based influencer-marketing seed round), TheLorry (a Malaysia/Southeast Asia logistics platform, participating in a $5.85 million Series B), Pathmatics (co-led investment round), and Snapcart (a shopper-engagement and receipt-scanning app) — reflecting a thesis spanning digital media, influencer/ad-tech, logistics, and consumer engagement technology, sectors adjacent to SPH's own core media and publishing business.

Genting Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Genting Group, the diversified Malaysian conglomerate founded in 1965 with global operations spanning leisure and hospitality, casinos and integrated resorts, plantations, property development, biotechnology, cruise lines, and energy. Genting Ventures is headquartered in Singapore (Genting Centre, 3 Lim Teck Kim Road) and backs early-stage startups whose innovations align with its parent group's strategic interests. (Note: this session could not independently confirm Genting Ventures' exact founding year, disclosed fund size, or a verified list of specific portfolio companies through any live, fetchable source — the firm's own website, gentingventures.com, was consistently unreachable to this session's tools (connection resets on every attempt), and no dedicated Wikipedia article or accessible database profile exists. Stated honestly rather than guessed; should be confirmed directly before publishing, ideally via a direct visit to gentingventures.com.) The firm's publicly stated sector focus spans gaming and entertainment, leisure and hospitality, agriculture, web3, and energy — a mix that closely mirrors Genting Group's own diversified business lines, consistent with a corporate venture unit investing for strategic alignment rather than a purely financial-returns mandate.

TENCO Capital describes itself as a corporate venture capital firm backing startups in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, headquartered at the TPI-Motortrade Building on EDSA in Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila. The firm's own materials reviewed for this profile did not disclose a founding year, named founders or managing partners, or fund size — though its office address suggests a connection to the Motortrade group of companies, a well-known Philippine motorcycle and vehicle retail conglomerate, without the exact corporate relationship being explicitly confirmed on the firm's site. TENCO positions itself as sector-agnostic, prioritizing founder alignment and execution capability over any single vertical. Its publicly listed portfolio spans consumer, edtech, media, and fintech ventures operating primarily in the Philippines.
