Finnoventure Fund I backs growth of local tech startups
Mr Sam says KFIN concentrates on three sectors for tech investment: fintech, e-commerce and automotive.
Krungsri Finnovate (KFIN), a corporate venture capital arm under Bank of Ayudhya (BAY), launched a startup fund on Thursday for high net worth investors interested in tech companies.
The move aims to support the growth of local tech startups in the long term, said Sam Tanskul, managing director of KFIN.
Finnoventure Fund I claims to be the first startup private equity trust fund in Thailand and Asean to provide an option to institutional and high net worth investors under the regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, he said.
The size of Finnoventure Fund I is set at 3 billion baht with a 10-year maturity, with investment focused on Series A startups, said Mr Sam.
