Kliff Capital
Kliff Capital was founded in 2020 by three Thai partners including Chotiphun Tiaviwat. The firm serves multiple families through a Cayman-registered vehicle. Its wealth-origin context remains undisclosed beyond the principals' Thai backgrounds and prior careers in banking and listed companies. The firm allocates across hedge funds, private equity and venture capital. It also executes direct co-investments and secondaries. Confirmed positions include a $3 million investment in Sora Ventures and participation in Freshket's funding round alongside Thai President Foods. Additional exposure appears in Kyoko alongside Animoca Brands. Kliff maintains a global footprint with activity in Asia, Europe and North America. Its portfolio incorporates AI/ML, biotech and Web3 strategies alongside AgriTech, supply chain, FinTech, healthcare services and gaming. Internal capital deployed exceeds $100 million. The team of five named professionals operates from a single Bangkok office. Annie Yang previously worked at Goldman Sachs and KKR. Chotiphun Tiaviwat advises Thailand's Department of Public and Political Development. No philanthropic vehicles or club memberships are disclosed. The firm reports a 3.8 historical Sharpe ratio since March 2020. Kliff Capital maintains full incentive alignment because its principals' families invest alongside clients. Compensation depends entirely on portfolio performance. This structure shapes its preference for niche strategies accessed through personal networks rather than broad fund commitments.
