Our Story

Yellowfin Capital is a pioneering venture capital fund established in Abu Dhabi through the strategic partnership of Select Venture Equity and AHG Lab,  the Philippines’ largest independent venture studio. This collaboration was born from a shared vision to empower successful startup entrepreneurs in the GCC region to scale and expand into new and untapped markets in Southeast Asia, and vice versa.

 

Yellowfin Capital is committed to providing more than just capital; we offer unparalleled access to a wide regional network across Southeast Asia and the GCC region, expert guidance, and the resources necessary to not only build a company from the ground up, but to also expand and unlock its full potential.

 

We believe in supporting visionary founders who aspire to bring novel solutions to new markets, thereby bridging technological gaps across the globe. Our vision is to be the foremost catalyst for cross-continental innovation, continuously expanding our reach and influence, and promoting a more connected, efficient, and prosperous global community.
