Planet Rise

Planet Rise mandates that every portfolio company has sustainability as its core operating principle, focusing specifically on businesses that restructure physical supply chains — energy, water, food, and waste. The firm seeks venture-stage startups deploying hard engineering solutions rather than software-only monitoring or reporting tools. This narrows its target set to companies designing membranes, batteries, bioreactors, and microgrid infrastructure across Southeast and South Asia.

The firm is headquartered in Singapore and invests primarily across Southeast Asia and South Asia. Portfolio companies are located in Singapore, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, among other regional markets. No direct investments in North America or Europe appear on the current portfolio roster.

The firm has participated in rounds alongside Wavemaker Impact and other unnamed climate-aligned investors, but its known posture remains direct equity. Planet Rise has not publicly described a fund-of-funds allocation or a standard co-investment program structure with GPs outside its close network.
