The Singapore Venture Captial Landscape in 2026
Singapore closed 472 venture deals worth US$4.6 billion in 2025, a 34 percent drop in value from the year before, according to the Singapore Venture Funding Landscape report published by EnterpriseSG. That sounds bleak until you see the context: Singapore still captured the overwhelming majority of Southeast Asia's venture funding, and the investors who remain active are writing cheques with more conviction, not less. This report breaks down where the money went, who deployed it, and what it means if you are raising in 2026.
The Market at a Glance
Update this table quarterly. The concentration story matters more than the decline story: four industries accounted for 69 percent of deal volume and 82 percent of deal value, which means generalist pitches are fighting for a shrinking slice while fintech, AI, deeptech and climate propositions face a market that actually grew.Update this table quarterly.

The Most Active Investors in Singapore
Fund activity shifts every quarter, but a consistent core has kept deploying through the correction: Monk's Hill Ventures and Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia leading Series A rounds, Quest Ventures and Wavemaker Partners at seed, Golden Gate Ventures, Openspace Ventures and Jungle Ventures across early stages, with 500 Southeast Asia and Antler feeding the top of the funnel. Corporate venture remains meaningful through Singtel Innov8 and EDBI, and SEEDS Capital continues co investing under Startup SG Equity. Our regularly updated ranking of the region's most active firms sits on the WOWS blog and feeds this report.
Where the Capital Is Going
Fintech kept its crown with US$1.7 billion deployed, driven by financial software and anchored by Singapore's role as ASEAN's financial hub, though nearly half of that value sat in a handful of large rounds including Airwallex and Bolttech. Artificial intelligence moved from a theme to a filter: funds now ask how AI changes your cost structure regardless of your sector. Climate tech and deeptech round out the priority list, supported by government research funding and sovereign interest.
