Saison Capital

Saison Capital is an early stage fund with a focus on emerging markets. We back ambitious founders solving big problems, with deep fondness for web3, fintech and embedded finance - non-fintech companies expanding into fintech. Our team comes from an operating background, and we are unafraid to roll up our sleeves to support our founders. We are backed by Credit Saison, a Tokyo-listed 30b AUM consumer finance company with extensive financial services across Asia.

Partner at Saison Capital

The 0 to 1 journey as a founder can be lonely and challenging. I’ve been there.

At Saison Capital, I partner with founders to grow from 0 to 1. Need talent? I'll help recruit key hires and advisors. Need customers? I'll hustle alongside you to find your first 1,000 true fans. Need capital? I invest pre-seed / seed, especially in fintech, B2B platforms and web3.

My 0 to 1 experiences include co-founding Glints (Series D), Southeast Asia's largest talent platform for career development and recruitment, and venture building with BCG Digital Ventures. I also finished my Stanford undergraduate degree with distinction (top 15%) in 2 years.
