The Radical Fund
Overview
An early-stage venture capital fund focused on enabling an inclusive climate transition for Southeast Asia. The fund invests in ventures related to climate adaptation and mitigation, supporting an inclusive transition to a sustainable future. It aims to make Southeast Asia a leading climate venture economy, offering commercial opportunities with significant climate impact, and actively supports founders in Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. The Radical Fund targets pre-seed, seed, and pre-Series A stages, backing tech-enabled ventures that deliver scaled commercial returns and positive climate outcomes for local and regional communities. The fund provides operational and technical hands-on support alongside equity-based capital. It is backed by several high-profile regional family offices from the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, together with individual investors from the US and Europe. In May 2024, The Radical Fund signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Keppel’s real estate division to drive innovation in sectors such as the built environment, renewable energy, decarbonization, and infrastructure technology. This partnership aims to accelerate the development and adoption of cutting-edge technologies addressing climate-related challenges in the real estate development and built environment sectors.
