Novum Global Ventures

Novum Global Ventures Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered technology venture studio and accelerator focused on building and scaling AI and fintech businesses. Incorporated in December 2018 and operationally founded in 2019, the studio operates at 40A Orchard Road in Singapore and sits inside the broader Novum Group — a consortium of diversified AI and fintech operating companies with presence in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Switzerland. The studio integrates artificial intelligence and financial technology across multiple business models, providing services including ideation, market execution, advisory, and venture funding for AI and financial-services startups. The team has particular depth in blockchain, Web3, automated trading, and cloud-native fintech infrastructure. Chief Investment Officer Victor Chow brings 28-plus years of experience across venture capital, startups, and blockchain, leading deal-sourcing, M&A, and investment activity. The studio has not raised external venture funding, operating instead as a balance-sheet and operator-led vehicle of the Novum Group. Notable in-house and portfolio products include StockHero.ai, a multi-asset AI trading platform that won 'Best Fintech AI Solution' at the Ultimate Fintech Awards APAC 2025; TradeHeroes, a multi-asset automated trading software platform; and CryptoHero, a free crypto-trading bot. Novum Global Ventures operates at the intersection of proprietary product development and selective external investment, targeting pre-seed and seed-stage fintech and AI companies across Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The studio model — building products in-house while advising and co-investing in complementary external ventures — distinguishes it from conventional seed funds in the region.
