Asia West

Asia West Inc. is a venture capital firm headquartered in Oyster Bay, United States, with $48 million in assets under management. The firm specializes in investing in early-stage companies with innovative technologies poised to disrupt large, mature industry verticals. Asia West takes a hands-on approach, actively working alongside management to achieve key growth milestones including revenue traction and cash flow breakeven while positioning portfolio companies for commercial scale and exit. The firm currently serves as Fund Manager for the TMC Emerging Technology Fund, an early-stage venture fund formed in partnership with The Mortgage Collaborative, the nation's largest cooperative network of independent mortgage lenders. The fund targets technologies and applications that improve the efficiency of manufacturing and servicing mortgages, enhance customer experience, improve quality, and increase the profitability of mortgage origination. Its limited partners, as technology consumers, screen prospective investments from a market perspective and accelerate traction by serving as reference customers. Asia West previously managed the Asia West Environment Fund LP, now completed, which invested in Western companies with technologies commercially and environmentally relevant to Asia, specifically China, with a focus on recycling or up-cycling scrap materials into high-value products. Notable past investments include E-Leather Ltd., a UK-based manufacturer of composite leather-on-a-roll produced from leather tannery scrap, where Asia West led the Series A round and subsequent rounds.
