Our mission is to spot the brightest technologies and help turn them into global winners.
We are an early-stage venture capital firm dedicated to investing in ambitious entrepreneurs to define and dominate a new generation of commerce.
Since 2013, we have partnered with outstanding entrepreneurs at a range of stages across a range of industries. Our focus is broadly defined, enabling us to invest in a spectrum of business models including innovative retail experiences, enabling technologies, and SaaS and infrastructure platforms.
We like to get involved early in a company’s life cycle (Seed and Series A) when entrepreneurs need experienced partners to navigate the tough journey ahead.

Emerging Markets, Local Partners
Aura Venture's reach in the Asia Pacific region, through presences in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, enables us to leverage local partners and networks to assist entrepreneurs in new markets. Expansion into these geographies is an important pillar of our investment thesis.
Collaboration from Day One
We are committed, disciplined, and professional, and partner with companies that share these values. Experience has shown us that the partnership model is the best way for us to help companies succeed. We endeavour to be true partners from day one, with a hands-on, strategic approach.
Thesis-Driven, Forward Minded
By identifying visionary entrepreneurs who are eager to disrupt industries, we are investing in the future. Because of this, we are comfortable holding positions for extended periods of time to give our founders the runway they require to execute their vision to the best of their ability.
