For Qualgro Venture Capital, finding money is not a big challenge in Southeast Asia but finding companies with great ideas is. Even so, this has hardly dampened Qualgro’s outlook for the market. Last month, this portal had reported that the firm was on the road to raise $100 million for its second vehicle.
“The pain point right now is about finding great companies. Finding the money is not an issue. Great companies in SE Asia tend to be the same ones that receive a lot of investment, so they are usually oversubscribed rather than the other way round, Heang Chhor, founder, Qualgro, said in an interaction.
Chhor also outlined why he was optimistic about SE Asian startups, and Qualgro’s plans to double down on B2B tech companies in the region.
