Investment Thesis

Velocity Ventures is a sector-specialist VC that concentrates exclusively on Travel & Hospitality tech, combining industry operating experience with financial capital to back “visionary founders.” They position themselves as more than an investor — offering operating partners, advisors, and a corporate-facing program to help startups scale, pilot with corporates, and access markets (especially Southeast Asia). Their due diligence is bespoke and operationally informed, designed to select companies that solve sector-specific pain points (labour shortages, digitalisation, decarbonisation, distribution) and can scale across the travel ecosystem.

They pursue growth-stage, founder-led opportunities (Seed → Series A) with a pragmatic emphasis on partnerships and ecosystem-building — co-investing with corporates, working with governments and accelerators, and delivering post-investment support to accelerate product-market fit and regional expansion.
