Archipelago VC

Overview

Archipelago VC is a Southeast Asia-focused early-stage impact venture fund that backs scalable companies delivering strong returns and measurable positive outcomes. Born out of the Bali Investment Club (BIC), one of the region’s most active impact angel networks, Archipelago VC builds on a proven track record of identifying exceptional founders and supporting them with capital, expertise, and hands-on venture building. The firm invests from Pre-Seed to Series A across Southeast Asia, focusing on high-growth, impact-driven businesses in climate tech, circular economy, waste innovation, inclusive economic growth, and essential services. Archipelago VC's approach goes beyond funding, as its team works directly with founders to accelerate growth, unlock partnerships, and strengthen operational foundations. A defining strength of Archipelago VC is its cross-pollination strategy, where portfolio companies collaborate, support each other, and share market insights to multiply their impact. Through BIC’s existing eight investments, the firm has already built one of the region’s most comprehensive early-stage waste and circularity ecosystems and expands this platform across the broader Southeast Asia region. Archipelago VC believes that impact and profit amplify each other, and its investment strategy is anchored in ambitious and data-driven goals, such as recovering five hundred thousand tonnes of waste, avoiding seven hundred fifty thousand tonnes of CO2 emissions, and generating one hundred sixty-nine million US dollars in income for the Bottom of the Pyramid through job creation and increased earnings for low-income communities, especially women and micro-entrepreneurs.
