# XA Network XA Network is an Asset Manager based in Singapore, Singapore. ## Overview - **Organization type:** Asset Manager - **Headquarters:** Singapore, Singapore - **Region:** Asia - **Address:** Singapore, Singapore - **Founded:** 2018 - **Assets under management:** Undisclosed - **Website:** xanetwork.co - **LinkedIn:** https://www.linkedin.com/company/xanetwork ## Regulatory record - **Reports private funds:** No ## About XA Network was founded in 2018 in Singapore as a membership-driven investment vehicle drawing exclusively on senior leaders from global technology platforms. Its Executive Committee includes Google Director Alap Bharadwaj and Netflix APAC VP Tony Zameczkowski, while YouTube co-founder Steve Chen sits on the advisory board. The firm's wealth origin is tied to the carried equity and operating experience of its members, not a single family's fortune. The network invests across the venture lifecycle, targeting early-stage seed and start-up rounds in addition to growth-stage expansion deals, primarily in Southeast Asia and India. XA Network acts as a limited partner in established funds — it is a confirmed LP in Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India Fund IV (per Altss research) — and writes direct cheques into deals sourced through member networks. Asset-class engagement spans direct venture equity, fund commitments, and club-style co-investments. Known geographic focus includes Singapore, Indonesia, and the broader ASEAN corridor, with a parallel Africa-focused effort led by Nitin Gajria, former Google Sub-Saharan Africa Managing Director. Membership in XA Network requires at least S$2 million in assets or S$300,000 in annual income, creating a curated capital pool of active tech executives rather than passive family wealth. The firm operates an adjacent Africa fund and maintains strategic relationships with firms including Vertex Ventures and Indonesia's Kopital Ventures. In the last 24 months, the network has expanded its Africa presence through dedicated leadership and deepened its LP commitments across the Vertex Ventures fund family (per Altss research). Structurally, XA Network sits between a professional investor syndicate and a proprietary deal-sharing club. Because its members lead business development, product, and regional strategy inside companies like Google and Netflix, deal origination often overlaps with corporate market intelligence — a sourcing model that differs from both conventional venture funds and single-family offices. ## Sectors - Venture (General) - Enterprise Software - FinTech - AI/ML ## People - Belinda Ong — Managing Director - Alap Bharadwaj — Executive Committee Member - Tony Zameczkowski — Executive Committee Member - John Wood — Advisory Board Member - Steve Chen — Advisory Board Member - Maya Hari — Advisory Board Member - David Thevenon — Advisory Board Member - Nitin Gajria — Co-Founder (XA Africa) ## Questions ### Who runs investment decisions at XA Network? Managing Director Belinda Ong leads investment and operations. The Executive Committee — including Google Director Alap Bharadwaj and Netflix APAC VP Tony Zameczkowski — shapes deal evaluation. Final investment decisions draw on the collective expertise of the membership base, which operates as a distributed sourcing and diligence network. ### How does XA Network source proprietary deal flow? Sourcing relies on the professional networks of its members, who hold senior roles at companies like Google, Netflix, and Twitter. Deals often surface through the corporate, partner, and alumni pipelines those members access in their day jobs across Southeast Asia and India. The firm's LP relationship with Vertex Ventures provides additional fund-level deal visibility. ### Does XA Network participate in fund commitments or only direct deals? Both. The firm has a confirmed multi-fund LP relationship with Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India, and it writes direct cheques into seed through growth-stage rounds. It also maintains strategic ties to country-level funds including Indonesia's Kopital Ventures. ### How is XA Network related to XA Africa? XA Africa operates as a parallel initiative under the XA Network umbrella, launched with former Google Sub-Saharan Africa Managing Director Nitin Gajria as co-founder. It extends the same membership-driven investment model into African markets, while maintaining operational separation from the core Southeast Asian vehicle. ### Which sectors does XA Network target? The network is generalist by mandate, investing across venture opportunities surfaced by its tech-operator membership. The member composition — heavy on executives from Google, Netflix, and YouTube — means enterprise software, fintech, and AI/ML deals dominate the pipeline. The firm does not publicly exclude specific sectors. ### What does XA Network require for membership? Membership is invitation-only and requires either at least S$2 million in investable assets or S$300,000 in annual income, according to the firm's own criteria. This screens for active tech operators with meaningful personal capital, distinguishing the network from open angel groups or retail platforms. ## Related profiles - [Xandex Ventures](https://altss.com/profile/xandex-ventures) - [XANGA Ventures](https://altss.com/profile/xanga-ventures) --- Last updated: 2026-06-03T20:00:00.000Z Canonical page: https://altss.com/profile/xa-network Maintained by Altss — https://altss.com — methodology: https://altss.com/methodology
