First Asia Venture Capital Inc.

Overview

First Asia Venture Capital Inc. is a venture capital firm based in the Philippines, actively investing in early-stage companies across various industries. Established in 1977 as a management consultancy, it transitioned into a professionally managed venture capital company in 1983. The firm operates as a direct investment holding company, with a diverse portfolio that includes freight forwarding, real estate, publishing, electronics assembly, education, industrial ecozone development, hospitality, aviation, security services, and construction. Additionally, First Asia supports the Philippine startup community through Brainsparks, an innovation and startup hub. The firm's investment strategy focuses on companies with the potential to excel in their respective sectors. First Asia seeks to add value beyond financial support by leveraging its extensive business network, cross-border linkages, and strategic management expertise. This approach often involves active, hands-on management, although the firm also engages in passive direct investments when appropriate. First Asia's commitment to responsible corporate citizenship is evident through its socio-development arm, the Bato Balani Foundation, a non-stock, non-profit organization dedicated to educational development initiatives. The firm continues to pursue its vision of expanding operations beyond the Philippines by setting up operations in other parts of the ASEAN region.
