Frequently asked questions
How does Goldensand source proprietary deal flow?
The firm's relationship with GSR Ventures, co-founded by Sonny Wu and Richard Lim, provides a potential sourcing channel for technology-related co-investments. Additionally, direct ownership of operating businesses like GoldenSand Bank and a hotel in Cambodia gives the firm access to sector-specific opportunities.
What investment stages does Goldensand typically target?
Goldensand engages in co-investments and direct ownership across stages. Its holdings include early-stage technology via tZERO and ColdLar Wallet, as well as mature operating assets such as a bank, hotel, condominium, and agricultural land. The firm does not appear to operate a fund or manage third-party capital.
Which geographies does Goldensand focus on?
Goldensand is headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal, and holds assets in Europe (Portugal), Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia), and Hong Kong. Its technology investments, such as tZERO, extend into the United States.
What is Goldensand's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Co-investment is the firm's primary strategy. It partners with entities such as GSR Ventures and operates as a capital partner rather than a lead investor. Specific external GPs alongside whom Goldensand has co-invested have not been publicly named.
