Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at iGlobe Partners?
Founder and Managing Partner Soo Boon Koh leads the firm's investment decisions alongside Partner Yoke Sin Chong. Koh previously held roles with the Singapore government's early-stage investment ecosystem, including the National Science and Technology Board, laying the groundwork for the firm's cross-border mandate.
Does iGlobe Partners focus on Southeast Asia or North America?
iGlobe invests across both regions, maintaining investment teams in Singapore, New York, and Silicon Valley. The firm backs companies with trans-Pacific ambitions, which can include US-based startups expanding into Asia and Asia-based companies with North American go-to-market plans. This dual-region posture has been core to the firm's identity since 1999.
What is iGlobe's relationship to the Singapore government?
iGlobe Partners is an independent venture capital manager, not a government entity. However, founder Soo Boon Koh's background includes roles in Singapore's public-sector technology and investment ecosystem, and the firm is believed to count sovereign-linked and institutional limited partners among its investors based on its long history and public ties.
Does iGlobe Partners invest directly or through fund-of-funds?
iGlobe invests directly into portfolio companies, typically leading or actively co-leading seed through growth-stage rounds. The firm does not operate as a fund-of-funds or LP in other venture funds. Its model centers on hands-on, equity-level investments with reserved follow-on capital.
Which notable companies has iGlobe Partners backed?
Publicly known portfolio companies include SenseTime, the AI platform developer that became one of the world's most valuable AI startups, and XtalPi, the AI-driven drug discovery and materials science platform (both per public record). The firm has also backed Noah Mobility in Singapore and other enterprise technology and deep-tech companies.
