We believe that companies with transformative potential deserve to be nurtured.

Kickstart Ventures manages the Philippines’ largest technology venture capital funds, investing globally in early- to growth-stage tech startups via three funds, including the Ayala Corporation Technology Innovation Venture Fund (“ACTIVE Fund”). Kickstart is a wholly-owned corporate venture capital firm of Globe Telecom, the Philippines’ leading mobile operator.

Kickstart Ventures was founded in 2012 as a corporate incubator of Globe Telecom with a starting fund of US$2.5 million. In 2015, we fully transitioned into a Corporate Venture Capital firm with a US$50 million growth fund. Today, we advise the Ayala Corporation Technology Innovation Venture (ACTIVE) Fund, the largest venture capital fund coming out of the Philippines.

We invest in the Philippines and globally, having funded startups in major innovation hubs like Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Canada, USA, and Israel.

Kickstart Ventures is backed by Globe Telecom, Ayala Corporation, and Singtel.
