Investment veteran Jeffrey Seah announced the launch of MSW (Mettle Salt Wealth) Ventures, a Singapore-based investment outfit focused on early- and growth-stage opportunities.

In a LinkedIn post, Seah also revealed the company’s inaugural fund, Asia Fund X. Through this opportunity fund, the company will look for potential investments across Southeast Asia, particularly those in foodtech, agritech, data tech, sustainability, and enterprise tech.

On its website, MSW Ventures said it will work with Asia Fund X’s portfolio firms to provide resources, guidance, and access to its industry network. “Our approach sets us apart as we go beyond just relying on funding from AFX to help entrepreneurs achieve great things,” it wrote.
