Investment Thesis

1982 Ventures is a thesis-driven venture capital firm focused on early-stage fintech and tech infrastructure in Southeast Asia. They believe in backing ‘the boldest founders building the AI architecture, fintech rails, and automated workflows defining the future business.’ Their approach emphasizes seed-stage investing as being ‘side-by-side with founders from the very beginning’ with ‘a commitment to support them as a partner,’ recognizing that seed investing is less risky than late-stage investment and allows them to identify exceptional founders early.
