Invext Bridges Tech Investment Gap for Asian Investors

Invext, a tech investment platform, democratizes access to Silicon Valley’s exclusive investment opportunities in tech companies and venture capital funds as U.S. venture funding surges 43% in the first half of 2025.

July 30, 2025 – As the United States continues to dominate global startup with $145 billion in venture funding in the first half of 2025 — a remarkable 43% year-over-year increase (Data from Crunchbase) — fintech platform Invext is addressing a critical market gap by connecting Asian high net worth individuals (HNWIs) and family offices to the U.S.’s most promising investment opportunities in tech companies and venture capital funds across all stages, from seed to growth rounds.

The timing is particularly significant as the U.S. leads globally with 101 companies valued at $5 billion or more, representing a combined valuation of $1,879 billion, significantly outpacing China’s 36 companies ($736 billion) and India’s 19 ($291 billion). With 52 of the 83 new unicorns created worldwide in early 2025 originating from America, the concentration of high-growth opportunities in Silicon Valley has never been more pronounced.

Breaking Down Barriers for Asian Capital

Despite Asia’s growing wealth and sophisticated investor base, HNWIs across the region face significant structural barriers when attempting to access high-quality U.S. tech investment opportunities. The reality for most Asian investors is a frustrating cycle of exclusion from premier deal flow, where they typically only receive invitations to invest in leftover deals that have already been passed over by established U.S. and European investors.

“Asian investors have traditionally been underrepresented in Silicon Valley’s private markets, not due to lack of capital or interest, but simply due to access barriers,” notes Paramee Intarachumnum, CEO & Co-founder of Invext. “The data speaks for itself — the United States is generating unprecedented returns and continues to be the epicenter of global innovation, with Asian investors increasingly recognizing that diversification into U.S. tech represents one of the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities available today.”

The challenges extend beyond access to include check size limitations — many individual Asian investors lack the substantial capital required to make meaningful investments in high-growth U.S. startups, where minimum commitments can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars per deal. Additionally, investors often lack the specialized industry expertise and deep due diligence capabilities required to confidently evaluate complex technology investments in rapidly evolving sectors.

Strategic Investment Thesis

Central to Invext’s approach is a disciplined investment thesis focused on deeptech companies and established venture capital funds with proven track records, designed specifically to reduce risks for Asian investors while maximizing exposure to transformative innovation. Invext’s strategic focus centers on five key sectors that address global megatrends: foodtech companies revolutionizing food production and distribution systems; healthtech innovations transforming medical care and wellness; agritech solutions addressing agricultural sustainability and productivity; climatetech ventures developing solutions for environmental challenges; and AI technologies that are reshaping every industry.

“What we’re seeing is a fundamental shift where Asian family offices and institutional investors are allocating 20-30% of their portfolios to alternative investments, and U.S. private markets represent the most attractive segment within this allocation,” explains Paramee. “Our role is to eliminate the traditional barriers that have prevented Asian capital from accessing these world-class opportunities, while maintaining the rigorous due diligence standards that sophisticated investors demand.”

Most of Invext’s investors are HNWIs with established businesses across Asia, and for these entrepreneurs and business leaders, investing in cutting-edge technology companies provides dual value — not only generating attractive financial returns but also expanding new horizons for their own enterprises by providing insights into emerging technologies, business models, and market trends.

Proven Portfolio Performance

Invext’s carefully curated portfolio demonstrates the platform’s ability to identify and secure access to breakthrough technology companies and venture capital funds across diverse sectors that are reshaping global industries. Notable investments include Verdant Robotics, whose SharpShooter precision agriculture system reduces chemical usage by up to 99%; Type One Energy, a Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy-backed company developing stellarator fusion systems for sustainable power; Bariendo, a health tech company revolutionizing non-surgical weight loss with 18-20% average results; and 280 Earth, a Google X-incubated climate tech company permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere through Direct Air Capture systems.

These portfolio companies and fund partnerships exemplify the type of high-quality investment opportunities across all stages that Invext makes accessible to Asian investors — representing the next generation of transformative technologies with significant potential for both financial returns and positive global impact across sectors ranging from precision agriculture and revolutionary healthcare to breakthrough fusion energy and climate restoration.

Comprehensive Platform Approach

As a strategic option to diversify investment portfolios beyond traditional asset classes and regional markets, Invext offers Asian investors the opportunity to balance their holdings with exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated private market investments that historically exhibit low correlation with public markets and provide natural hedging against currency fluctuations.

The platform’s dual approach of direct investments combined with fund investments creates a diversified risk profile that allows Asian investors to participate in both early-stage breakthrough technologies and more mature venture strategies while leveraging the expertise of Silicon Valley’s most successful investment professionals.

“We’re not just providing deal flow — we’re creating systematic access to the same pre-IPO investments that are driving wealth creation for the world’s most successful institutional investors,” adds Paramee. “Invext exists to make private investment in tech accessible, personalized, and rewarding for Asian investors — rewarding in terms of both return on investment and return on impact, as our investors participate in funding the technologies that are transforming industries and solving global challenges.”
