What type of founders do we invest in?
At Sandy Feet Partners we have decades of experience helping companies more clearly define and execute strategies that help them achieve their vision. Our own founders have also been through the startup journey with successful exits and continue to hold leadership positions across Asia Pacific. We look for:
Micro-multinationals
Founders that have new ideas for businesses of any type that can transcend borders and languages. International. Multi-lingual. Borderless.
Ideas Stage
Individuals or teams - whatever their circumstances or stage of life - that have an idea for any type of business - small, large, tech, or non-tech - but are not sure how to make it a reality.
Tech Startups
Technology-focused startups with SaaS, Services, or Hardware ideas. Emerging "smart" technologies. Industry specialisations. Functional Roles. Changing the future of work.
Growth Companies
Young companies that are looking how to better localise their ideas and offerings in Japan. And Japanese companies looking to expand into Asia Pacific markets.
