In the bustling heart of Southeast Asia, a financial revolution is brewing. Mox Capital, a powerhouse in alternative investments, is stepping up to the plate. With assets under management totaling $1.4 billion, the firm is on a mission to supercharge startups across Vietnam and the broader region. This initiative is not just about money; it’s about nurturing innovation and empowering entrepreneurs to thrive in a competitive landscape.
Mox Capital’s commitment is clear. They aim to support high-potential startups that align with their rapid growth strategy. The firm’s COO, Nguyen Dinh Giang, emphasizes the importance of fostering an environment where fledgling enterprises can flourish. This support comes at a crucial time when the startup ecosystem in Southeast Asia is evolving rapidly, and the need for strategic backing has never been greater.
Among the promising startups receiving Mox Capital’s backing are Steerman Brewery and 1Long. These companies exemplify the innovative spirit that Mox seeks to cultivate. Steerman Brewery, founded in late 2019, has quickly carved out a niche in the Vietnamese beverage market. Their journey began with the launch of a unique Hard Soda, crafted from fermented fruit juice. This innovative product caught the attention of consumers and industry experts alike, earning a silver medal in 2022.
By 2023, Steerman Brewery opened its first taproom, a significant milestone that showcased its growing popularity. The company has expanded its reach, now available in over 100 locations, including more than 200 GS25 convenience stores across Vietnam. Their year-over-year growth exceeds 35%, a testament to their effective market strategy and product appeal. Steerman Brewery stands out as one of only two Vietnamese-owned companies in the top ten craft beer segment in the country. Their commitment to unique flavors and local tastes positions them well for continued success.
On the fintech front, 1Long is making waves. This AI-driven financial management platform is designed to address the needs of Vietnam’s brokers, a group often overwhelmed by data management challenges. With a seed investment of $500,000 from notable investors like Iterative and Monk's Hill Ventures, 1Long is rapidly gaining traction. In just a few months, they have amassed over $1 million in assets under management and attracted more than 6,000 users.
1Long’s approach combines cutting-edge technology with a commitment to transparency. This has earned them a reputation as Vietnam’s second-fastest-growing startup. Their goal is clear: to simplify asset management and enhance client engagement for brokers across the country. In a landscape where fintech solutions are in high demand, 1Long is poised to reshape how financial services are delivered in Vietnam.
Mox Capital’s involvement with these startups goes beyond mere financial support. The firm provides access to extensive distribution channels throughout Southeast Asia, facilitating capital sourcing and offering industry-specific expertise. This holistic approach ensures that the startups they support are well-equipped to scale effectively. Mox Capital’s regional insights and strategic model align perfectly with their mission to drive rapid alternative investments.
This initiative marks a significant milestone in Mox Capital’s journey. By backing a diverse range of startups, they are not only fostering individual company success but also shaping the future of Vietnamese entrepreneurship.
