Amasia is a thesis-driven venture capital firm founded in 2013 by Ramanan Raghavendran and John Kim, headquartered in Burlingame, California, investing globally in the US, Southeast Asia, India, Europe, and Latin America. Its Philippine connection is real but concentrated in a small number of deals rather than a dedicated local fund: Coins.ph, a Manila-founded fintech, was Amasia's first-ever investment (since exited), and in 2024 the firm was among the investors in a $6.5 million pre-Series A round for Hive Health, a Manila-based SME health-insurance startup that later acquired one of the Philippines' oldest HMOs.

Foxmont Capital Partners is a Philippines-focused venture capital firm founded in 2018, investing in early-stage, tech-enabled startups from seed through Series A (and, with its newest fund, up to Series B). Since inception it has deployed more than PHP 1 billion across two earlier funds. In 2025, Foxmont announced a $30 million first close for its third fund, anchored by the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF) — the first development finance institution commitment to a Philippine-focused early-growth fund — with Grab Holdings also participating. More than half of that first close came from Philippine family offices.

Gobi Partners is a Pan-Asian venture capital firm founded in 2002, with roughly US$1.5-1.6 billion in assets under management and investments in more than 350 startups across 15+ Asian markets, including several unicorns. In the Philippines, Gobi Partners operates through Gobi-Core Philippine Fund, a joint venture founded in 2018 with local firm Core Capital (founding partners Jason Gaisano, Ken Ngo, and Carlo Chen-Delantar), headquartered in Manila. In 2023, Gobi-Core became one of the first firms officially accredited as a Co-Investment Partner of the Philippine government's Startup Venture Fund, a joint DTI-NDC initiative with a US$10 million allocation under RA 11337.

Openspace Ventures (now operating under the broader Openspace Capital name) is a multi-strategy asset manager founded in 2014 and focused on Southeast Asia. It is co-headquartered in Singapore and Jakarta, with additional offices across the region including a presence in Manila, and manages roughly $800 million in total committed capital across six funds spanning early-stage, growth-stage (OSV+), and a crypto-focused fund (Ocular). In the Philippines, Openspace is best known for co-leading Kumu's approximately $15 million Series B round in mid-2021 alongside SIG, joined by returning investors Kickstart Ventures, Foxmont Capital Partners, and Summit Media. Its broader Southeast Asian portfolio includes Gojek/GoTo, Kredivo, Halodoc, and Pickup Coffee.
