DKI Ventures is a specialist investment firm deploying capital across technology, private credit, real estate, and global mobility — with structural expertise in the sectors reshaping how the world moves and lends.
"We invest where technology reshapes how the world moves, lends, and owns."
— Managing Partner, DKI Ventures
DKI Ventures was founded on a simple premise: the most enduring returns come from backing structural shifts, not cycles. We started in 2018 with $2 million in committed capital. Through rigorous thesis-driven investing and deep sector expertise, we have grown to a $50 million fund — compounding at 27× since inception.
Our managing partner brings over a decade of C-suite experience at listed and Fortune 500 companies, having personally managed portfolios exceeding USD 250M in fintech and web3. We understand the industries we invest in from the inside out.
We invest across four conviction areas: technology and travel infrastructure, private credit and revenue-based finance, real estate, and selected positions in large-cap global industrials. We write cheques from angel to pre-Series A, and we look at anything in travel, tech, lending, and real estate.
AI-native platforms modernising enterprise travel management, commercial operations, and global mobility — deeply embedded in client workflows with strong recurring revenue across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe.
Bespoke credit to quality businesses underserved by traditional institutions. Revenue-based financing for recurring-revenue technology companies; direct lending where our sector expertise underwrites what generalist lenders cannot.
Income-generating commercial and mixed-use assets in Singapore and key regional markets. We underwrite cashflow, not sentiment — favouring properties where operational intelligence creates durable pricing power.
Strategic positions in listed global aviation leaders and multinational express logistics groups. Our operating heritage provides genuine analytical edge — we invest when price dislocates from value, and we are patient.
A dedicated $20M fund backing top-tier Korean artist concerts, brand activations, and immersive pop-up experiences across Taiwan, Singapore, and Southeast Asia — capitalising on the structural demand surge for premium K-culture live entertainment.
DKI Ventures works with a select group of family offices, institutional co-investors, and qualified individuals. Access is by introduction or direct enquiry.
From early-stage software to structured credit and listed equities. We look at anything in travel, technology, lending — including revenue-based investments — and real estate.
Our deepest conviction sits in technology businesses modernising the global travel, mobility, and commercial operations ecosystem — AI-powered corporate travel management platforms, software automating rate negotiation, supplier management, and duty-of-care compliance at enterprise scale.
We look for products that become embedded infrastructure. Our portfolio businesses operate across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe, serving clients from fast-growing SMEs to multinationals managing tens of thousands of annual travel transactions.
We also back broader B2B technology: AI tooling, enterprise marketplaces, and fintech infrastructure where our commercial networks accelerate early distribution. Founder quality is the single most important criterion.
We provide bespoke credit solutions to quality businesses outside traditional bank appetite — profitable, growing companies with strong cashflow or collateral that conventional underwriting fails to price correctly.
Revenue-based financing is a core pillar: facilities extended to recurring-revenue technology businesses, repaid as a fixed percentage of monthly revenue. This aligns returns with performance and removes fixed-repayment pressure.
We also provide direct lending to established operators in travel, logistics, and real estate where our sector expertise allows us to underwrite risk generalist lenders cannot assess with equivalent confidence. Target net returns of 12–15% per annum.
One discipline: we underwrite cashflow, not sentiment. Income-generating commercial and mixed-use assets in Singapore and select regional markets where fundamentals are sound and rental demand is structurally supported.
We favour properties where operational intelligence creates durable pricing power. Real estate within DKI functions as a portfolio stabiliser and inflation hedge, sized for long-term income reliability.
Selective positions in listed global aviation and express logistics businesses — sectors where our operational heritage gives us genuine analytical advantage over generalist investors.
Premium flag carriers with loyal high-yield customer bases and fortress balance sheets; global express logistics operators with irreplaceable physical infrastructure. We invest when others are cautious and exercise the patience that institutional mandates rarely allow.

DKI Ventures operates with a lean, senior team. We maintain a deliberate policy of discretion — we let the track record speak.

A closed-end, project-finance fund deploying institutional capital into Korean concert tours, live events, and touring projects across Asia-Pacific. GPs serve as principal operators on every project — not passive investors.
"The GPs are not financiers watching from the side. We operate every show — from artist deal to post-settlement."
— APAC Concert Fund I, Fund Framework
APAC Concert Fund I is a closed-end, project-finance fund deploying institutional capital into live concert and touring projects across Asia-Pacific (excluding China). The Fund is not a passive investment vehicle.
The GPs source Korean acts, structure deal economics, appoint local market partners, and manage P&L from pre-production through to post-show settlement. LPs receive exposure to a curated portfolio of projects with the benefit of GP operational control at every stage.
The fund pools committed capital for faster, more competitive deal execution — allowing the GPs to scale from 2–3 projects per year to 4–6 without capital constraints, while giving LPs structured, auditable exposure to a proven deal flow.
Illustrative projections only. Actual returns depend on project performance, market conditions, and timing of distributions. Not a guarantee or promise of returns.
Inbound from Korean agency or GP-initiated outreach based on tour pipeline visibility. Both GPs.
Artist tier, APAC demand signals, proposed markets, preliminary budget. GP — Principal A leads.
Artist fee, guarantee structure, territory rights, production requirements. Both GPs.
Investment Committee sign-off (unanimous, all GPs required). SPV formation, capital drawdown, contract execution.
Full production, marketing, show delivery via local partners under GP oversight. Post-show P&L reconciliation and LP distribution within 60 days.
Risk management is built around the GP’s role as operator — not passive investor. The GPs have direct visibility into and control over the primary risk drivers in each project.

"The travel industry is a decades-old workflow waiting to be rebuilt. We back the founders doing it."
— DKI Travel+Tech Fund Thesis
The global corporate travel market is a $1.4 trillion ecosystem still largely managed through manual processes, fragmented supplier relationships, and legacy booking infrastructure. The shift to AI-native workflow software is early and structural — and the window to back category-defining companies at seed and pre-Series A is now.
We have first-hand visibility into where the pain is, which solutions actually work in enterprise environments, and which founders understand the market well enough to build durably. Our portfolio companies are already live, contracted, and growing across multiple markets. This fund formalises our deployment model and scales it.
We look beyond pure SaaS — adjacent opportunities in AI tooling, B2B fintech for travel, revenue-based financing for recurring-revenue operators, and strategic positions in listed aviation and logistics also fall within scope.
Software platforms that automate the end-to-end corporate travel workflow — policy management, booking, supplier rate negotiation, duty of care, and post-trip reconciliation. We back companies building deeply embedded B2B products that become infrastructure for their clients. Our current portfolio includes an AI-native travel management company serving enterprise clients across APAC, the Middle East, and Europe with strong NRR and contracted revenue.
Platforms that automate how travel operators and service providers manage commercial relationships — RFP and rate negotiation tools, operator-facing OS products, and AI-driven staff coordination layers. Our existing portfolio includes a modular operator platform used by travel management companies managing high volumes of corporate bookings globally.
AI tooling and agent infrastructure with strong applicability to travel, logistics, and commercial operations — including AI chief-of-staff layers, scheduling and task management systems, and natural-language interfaces for enterprise workflows. We back the technology layer that powers the products above.
Selected positions in listed global aviation leaders and multinational express logistics operators where our operating heritage provides genuine analytical advantage. We invest when fundamentals are mispriced — premium carriers with fortress balance sheets, global logistics operators with irreplaceable physical infrastructure.
Company names and financial details available under NDA to qualified investors.
Whether you are a founder, a family office, or an institutional co-investor — we would like to hear from you. The fund is currently in formation; anchor LP discussions are open.
