We enjoyed connecting with The Business Times during the recent launch of Xora Innovation's headquarters. Our CEO, Alan Thompson, and Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer, Phil Inagaki, shared their perspectives with Benjamin Cher on Xora’s investment strategy, our focus areas, and the opportunities ahead for Xora and our portfolio companies.   Over the past 3.5 years, we've invested S$200M across 12 startups in 3 focus areas: Compute & Communications, Climate & Energy, and AI in Physical Industries. Xora can either invest in existing companies, or partner with exceptional #entrepreneurs to form new ventures from the ground up. Two examples of our venture builds are Aether Fuels which raised over US$40M within two years of its launch, and Amperesand which recently announced a pilot collaboration for its solid-state transformer technology with PSA International at the port of Singapore within a year of raising its US$12.5M Seed round.   While we will continue to follow a “High-Conviction, High-Commitment” approach under which we add a select number of companies to our portfolio each year, with the expansion of our investment team over the past 12 months (Artem Smirnov Hari Ramachandran Candice Ong Phoebe Tan Peter Lim Dickson Thian Sofia B.), we look forward to accelerating our pace of investing and venture building, aiming to create industry-defining leaders with sustainable, scalable growth. Thank you BT for featuring our views.   Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gRS_-_y5 #XoraInnovation #DeepTech #Xora #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #VentureCapital #VentureInvesting

You need to find a win-win where both sides of the transaction are happy. That’s my take on any engagement, whether it is: – Hiring new team members – Evaluating financial partners – Working with vendors – Engaging new (or existing) clients We should both be getting a good deal here. It’s about alignment. Alignment lets you move faster. And to me? That’s just good business. #startups #biotechnology #lifesciences
