Frequently asked questions

How is Grab Ventures distinct from a traditional VC fund?

Grab Ventures operates as a corporate venture capital unit, not a blind-pool fund. It invests off Grab's corporate balance sheet and can provide portfolio companies with distribution through Grab's superapp ecosystem — access to millions of drivers, merchants, and users across eight Southeast Asian countries — which a conventional VC cannot replicate.

How does Grab Ventures source new investment opportunities?

Sourcing draws heavily on Grab's internal business-unit relationships and operational data. The parent company's drivers, merchants, and engineering teams surface pain points that startups can address. The Velocity accelerator program also operates as a funnel, issuing open calls for applications in targeted markets and sectors.
