At Golden Gate, we aim to create sustainable long-term returns for investors with a lasting, positive impact for all of our stakeholders. As one of the earliest VC funds in Southeast Asia, we have not only invested into companies fuelling the region’s growth, but also helped build communities and ecosystems in the markets that we operate in. Our long-term view allows us to take a collaborative, open approach to managing our various stakeholders – portfolio companies, investors, peers, employees and other players in the ecosystem. We believe that innovation is sparked when people from different backgrounds see different solutions to the same problem. We believe in a sense of belonging, of being valued and seen for who we are. We believe in people coming together, having the opportunity to contribute their points of view in order to collectively do great work. We are inclusive to all. We are committed to investing responsibly. We will integrate ESG risks and opportunities at all stages of the fund lifecycle, from LP onboarding, to investing, harvesting and exiting.
