About White Star Capital

 

White Star look for companies that have established significant product-market fit in their local market, and use our cross-border networks to help companies scale internationally and become global champions. They are a global multi-stage technology investment platform that invests in exceptional entrepreneurs building ambitious, international businesses.

White Star Capital leads or co-leads Series A rounds and beyond into companies that have established product-market dominance in their home region and are ready to scale their model globally. The company believes in establishing strong relationships with their portfolio companies and taking active roles in helping them grow internationally.

White Star constantly monitor the macroeconomic environment to identify emerging trends. At the moment, the verticals that they believe lend themselves well to internationalisation and scalability include: Digital Health, Communication & Collaboration, Industrial Technology, Mobility, FinTech, Lifestyle, FoodTech, Artificial Intelligence, Gaming, and Digital Assets.

White Star place a heavy emphasis on companies focused on Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance (ESG) initiatives and believe that these values are no longer a “nice to have”, rather, they’re a “need-to-have.”
