The Unicorn Profile: Southeast Asia Since 2000
Authored by: Mayank Parekh, Tanuja Rajah, Sherwin Ng
119 founders behind 61 unicorns. Introducing MVP’s inaugural Unicorn Profile report for Southeast Asia.
MVP has strategically focused its investment efforts on Southeast Asia and India, leveraging the extensive experience, network access, and knowledge base of its partners and investment team.
Although the venture capital ecosystems of Southeast Asia and India are relatively nascent, becoming more formalised in the early 2000s and gaining early traction around 2012, accelerated digital adoption and favourable demographics have led to thriving startup ecosystems in recent years.
With that in mind, MVP conducted an analysis of the 119 founders from 61 unicorns (as of June 2024) in Southeast Asia. These companies, valued at over US$1 billion each and comprising both publicly listed and privately held entities, were established from the year 2000 onward.
