Southeast Asia’s First Startup Accelerator

Founded in 2010, JFDI.Asia raised and deployed $3m into 70 digital startups between 2012-2015 through 7 intensive bootcamp cohorts. Its portfolio of investees is collectively valued at over $450m and has created hundreds of high value jobs. JFDI.Asia is no longer actively investing in new startups and the company is now focused on liquidating assets as they mature, already returning 29% IRR to investors. Notable exits to date include Tradegecko, which was acquired by Intuit in 2020. Rising portfolio stars include Silent Eight and Glints.

Beyond its investees, the legacy of JFDI.Asia is the community we helped to build in Singapore and beyond. We operated 300 weekly open house events that introduced over 10,000 founders, investors, mentors and startup supporters. Many went on to found businesses and at least two couples went on to found families. The community lives on and, if you run or know a tech-related early stage business that could use some help or seek to connect with entrepreneurs to create innovation, please reach out on our OpenFrog forum.
