ITERATIVE CAPITAL, LLC

Thesis

Iterative Capital is a venture capital firm and accelerator founded in 2018, focusing on early-stage startups in Southeast Asia. They operate a Y Combinator-style accelerator program, investing between $150,000 and $500,000 USD per startup using post-money SAFEs for approximately 10-15% equity. The firm is sector-agnostic but concentrates on pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages, with a geographic focus exclusively on Southeast Asia, including countries like Singapore, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. Their strategy involves a hands-on, high-accountability approach over a rigorous 12-week cohort-based program, aiming to help founders validate ideas, develop products, hit growth targets, and prepare for future funding rounds. They culminate their program with a Demo Day for startups to present to investors. Iterative has raised two funds: Fund I ($65 million) and Fund II ($55 million), bringing their total AUM to $120 million. The total portfolio value is reported at $1.2 billion. Their mission is to increase Southeast Asia's GDP through entrepreneurship by making it more accessible and providing necessary support.
