  • Fund Launch: Singapore-based climate venture builder 100x100 has launched a US$100 million fund to create and scale 50 climate-focused startups across Southeast Asia and India
  • Venture Builder Model: Unlike traditional VC firms, 100x100 co-founds companies from the ground up, turning low-carbon technologies into scalable commercial businesses
  • Track Record: First fund closed at US$60 million in 2023, leading to 27 co-founded companies across eight countries including Rize (methane reduction from rice) and Helios (Philippine residential solar)
  • Target Sectors: Energy, food, materials, supply chains, waste management, smart grids, renewable energy, and energy efficiency
  • Market Context: Southeast Asia climate tech startups attracted US$166 million in disclosed equity funding in 2025 (up 10% from 2024), below the 2023 peak of US$288 million
  • Singapore Dominance: Singapore attracted ~US$872 million of the region's US$1.1 billion in climate-tech funding since 2018, followed by Indonesia and Vietnam (e-mobility focus)
  • Strategic Rationale: The region holds a disproportionate share of global emissions while becoming a key hub for manufacturing reshoring, AI infrastructure buildout, and food system redesign
  • Ecosystem Support: Google launched a regional AI & Climate Accelerator; governments across Southeast Asia expanding support for clean tech startups
