Spaze Ventures

Spaze Ventures is a Singapore-headquartered venture capital and incubation firm founded in 2014 that specializes in seed funding and active operational support for the earliest-stage technology founders in Southeast Asia. Over its decade-plus history the firm claims to have incubated, accelerated, and invested in more than 100 startups across edtech, artificial intelligence, B2B SaaS, fintech, foodtech, and e-commerce -- with education representing the dominant sector at 40 of the 100 disclosed investments. Spaze operates two complementary programs alongside its core investing activity. StartupSpaze is a sector-agnostic, 12-month incubator that walks founders from idea to seed stage with access to mentorship, infrastructure, and follow-on capital. EduSpaze, launched in 2019 and supported by Enterprise Singapore, was Singapore's first dedicated edtech accelerator -- a three-month program taking startups from seed toward Series A and offering up to S$500,000 in seed funding per company along with pilot opportunities with schools and corporate partners. EduSpaze has now run nine cohorts. The eighth cohort (March 2024) included YAHO Lab, Edvance, Quippy, School on Cloud, Safe Space, and Salatech; the ninth (August 2024) broadened into financial literacy, mental wellness, and green skills. Named portfolio companies include Binar, Flying Cape, GRIT Search, and most recently Hexcore Labs (educational software), which received an EduSpaze investment in March 2025. Spaze's combined accelerator-plus-investment model gives it a structured pipeline of early-stage companies across Southeast Asia's rapidly growing digital education and technology sectors, providing founders with both institutional validation and the commercial pilot relationships needed to prove traction before seeking Series A capital.
