Working with private and early-stage companies since 2013
Ascent works with private companies in a wide variety of sectors and across different stages of growth. We are not limited to a specific sector or theme, but search for value wherever it presents itself. With offices in Hong Kong and the United States, we bring a global perspective to early-stage investing and private transactions.
Ascent is unlikely to participate in a broad auction process or invest in a start-up idea without a business plan. We believe in finding specific situations where we can add value and in backing management teams who are committed to rolling up their sleeves and executing on the vision. We look to partner with companies through their capital raising curve.
Our team brings a wealth of financing and private investment experience. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions about our business or our investments.
