SEA Bridge Venture Studio
Where bold ventures take off.
We build new ventures with founders, family businesses, corporates and universities: incubate, co-found or spin off.

- 2IncubationCompany registered 3 years or less; first revenueTypically: Incubate (Accelerate) or Co-found
- 3Pre-scaleupRepeatable revenue and product–market fitTypically: Incubate (Accelerate+)
- 4Scaleup≥10 staff at start and ≥20% annual growth for 3 years
- 5EstablishedGrowth below 20% a year, or above medium-SME limits
Ways in are matched to stages as a typical fit, not a rule. Scaleup: OECD definition, via SISP (2025). Stage fit is a guide; check each program’s own rules.

Questions
Questions people ask us
What is a venture studio?
A venture studio builds new companies with its own team, alongside founders or partners, and holds equity in what it builds. It starts from an idea, a market gap or research, rather than waiting for applications.
Is SEA Bridge an incubator?
No. We are a venture studio: we build ventures and take a share in them. Incubation, through our Accelerate and Accelerate+ programs, is one way in. We can also co-found a venture with you, or start a company and spin it off ourselves.
Do you invest?
Not as a fund, yet. We take a share in the ventures we build, in return for our team’s work. Terms for each way in are shared on request. Investors can register their interest now.
Do you work with universities?
Yes. We run incubation programs with partner universities, and we can spin off ventures from university research.
What is a Southeast Asia link?
Every venture we build has at least one: People, Market in, Source or Market out.
