Investing in technology businesses is mostly about realizing the
Vision of Tomorrow.
Like the future, which holds boundless possibilities, technology
investing is hardly bound by defined parameters.
Its about breaking new ground, charting new territories, building
new relationships, and establishing new networks.
Springboard-Harper Investment Pte Ltd, with its links to Silicon
Valley and Asia, is at the heart of it all.
Most importantly, being strategically located in Singapore, the firm
is in an optimal position to bridge technology businesses from both
sides looking to explore new markets.
The firm was established as a joint venture in 2000 between
Springboard Worldwide Pte Ltd and the
W I Harper Group. It currently
manages US$70m in its debut fund. The firm’s investment portfolio is
broadly divided into information technology, communications, and
others (including semiconductors and life sciences). Geographically,
the firm is almost equally invested in U.S., Asia (excluding Japan)
and Singapore.
There are more than 20 companies in various stages of development
under management. The firm has five investment professionals based
out of Singapore. The team works closely with its joint venture
partner, W I Harper Group to manage portfolio companies in the U.S.
and the Greater China region. |
