Private Equity: Aura Private Equity aims to be Southeast Asia's leading middle-market investor, backing rising market leaders since its maiden investment in 2013. The team invests in high-growth businesses using a data-driven "time machine" methodology, bespoke deal structures, and a hands-on approach to value creation, with a strong focus on ESG-compliant outcomes. Notable portfolio companies include Catapult Sports, 1300 Australia, Lannock Strata Finance, Kim Dental, and Giftaway. Venture Capital: Aura Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm dedicated to investing in ambitious entrepreneurs from pre-seed to Series A, active since 2013 across Australia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its thesis spans innovative retail, enabling technologies, and SaaS/infrastructure platforms, with a hands-on, thesis-driven partnership approach. Notable portfolio companies include Catapult, Shippit, Lygon, and Gamurs. Both divisions emphasize long-term, relationship-first partnerships, co-investing alongside their institutional partners and remaining patient holders to give founders the runway needed to execute their vision, rather than pursuing quick-exit or purely transactional deals.
