About
Saint Clair Asia
Saint Clair Asia invests at seed stage in Asian markets where global venture capital is absent. We work alongside local partners to back founders building companies with international potential.
Our Approach
Local Partnership
We co-invest alongside established local partners who know their markets deeply. Their networks source deals; our capital and expertise support growth.
European Bridge
Portfolio companies gain access to European markets, R&D partnerships, and follow-on capital through our Europe-Asia network.
Seed Focus
We invest at the earliest stages where institutional capital is scarce but founder quality is high. Small checks, meaningful stakes.
The Underdog Thesis
Asia's overlooked markets. Exceptional founders. Limited competition.
The European Bridge
Market access, R&D partnerships, and exit positioning for portfolio companies expanding into Europe.
Our Markets
Active in Sri Lanka. Indonesia and Mongolia in exploration.
Market Intelligence
Analysis on Asian markets and cross-border investment dynamics. Recent coverage includes Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
