总部位于新加坡的Antares Ventures宣布，其首支深度科技风险投资基金Antares Ventures I已获得超过5000万美元的认购承诺——几乎达到目标的一半。
Singapore-based Antares Ventures has secured more than $50 million in commitments—nearly half of the target—for its debut deeptech venture capital fund Antares Ventures I, according to an announcement.
该基金的投资者包括来自东南亚、日本和韩国的家族办公室以及企业和战略投资者。Antares表示，将在选择性部署资本的同时继续募资。
The fund’s investors include family offices and corporate and strategic investors from Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. Antares said it will continue fundraising while selectively deploying capital.
该公司表示，已通过该基金向九家公司投入约2700万美元，投资范围涵盖储能、工业技术、氢气运输、水处理和先进出行。
The firm said it has already deployed about $27 million across nine companies through the fund, investing in businesses spanning energy storage, industrial technology, hydrogen transportation, water treatment and advanced mobility.
Antares通常对单家公司的投资额在100万至500万美元之间，大多数投资在200万至300万美元区间。该公司倾向于领投或共同领投轮次，并保持积极的董事会参与。
Antares typically invests $1 million to $5 million per company, with most tickets in the $2-3 million range. The firm prefers to lead or co-lead rounds and maintains active board involvement.
其投资组合包括新加坡的长时储能开发商VFlowTech、英国混合智能变压器技术开发商IONATE、德国等离子体技术公司enaDyne以及印度电动飞机开发商The ePlane Company。
Its portfolio includes Singapore-based long-duration energy storage developer VFlowTech, UK hybrid intelligent transformer technology developer IONATE, German plasma technology company enaDyne and Indian electric aircraft developer The ePlane Company.
“亚洲正在大力投资支撑经济增长的基础设施系统，从可再生能源和数据中心到先进制造和城市交通。但仅靠资本无法解决这些系统内部的性能瓶颈，”Antares Ventures的创始人兼管理合伙人Michael Gryseels表示。
“Asia is investing heavily in infrastructure systems that support economic growth, from renewable energy and data centres to advanced manufacturing and urban transport. But capital alone does not resolve the performance constraints within those systems,” said Michael Gryseels, founder and managing partner of Antares Ventures.
Antares由Gryseels、Louis Murayama和Milena Nikolova创立，专注于四大主题下的早期深度科技公司：能源、计算和数字基础设施、工业以及城市和交通基础设施，投资阶段从种子轮到B轮。
Founded by Gryseels, Louis Murayama and Milena Nikolova, Antares invests in early-stage deeptech companies from seed to Series B across four themes: energy, compute and digital infrastructure, industry and urban and transport infrastructure.
该公司聚焦于解决基础设施系统性能瓶颈的技术，包括能源网络、数据中心和先进制造。
The firm focuses on technologies that address performance constraints in infrastructure systems, including energy networks, data centres and advanced manufacturing.
它还与投资组合公司合作开展客户开发、产业合作、试点项目、本地化和区域扩张，以支持商业化落地。
It also works with portfolio companies on customer development, industrial partnerships, pilot projects, localisation and regional expansion to support commercial adoption.
Antares表示，其投资方式结合了技术评估与部署经济学分析、整合风险以及商业采纳路径。
Antares said its investment approach combines technical assessment with analysis of deployment economics, integration risks and commercial adoption pathways.
该公司拥有一支覆盖亚洲的20人投资与运营团队，并有风险合作伙伴和高级顾问提供支持。
The firm is supported by a 20-person investment and operating team across Asia, alongside venture partners and senior advisers.
与大多数地区性风险投资公司不同，Antares采取不限投资来源的方式，既投资东南亚初创企业，也投资海外初创企业，只要后者承诺在投资后12个月内进入亚洲市场，Gryseels在接受DealStreetAsia早前采访时如是说。
Unlike most regional VCs, Antares takes an origin-agnostic approach, investing in both Southeast Asian and overseas startups, as long as the latter commit to entering the Asian market within 12 months of investment, Gryseels said in an earlier interview with DealStreetAsia.
Antares最初以联合体形式运营，通过特殊目的载体（SPV）逐笔执行投资。2019年至2023年间，公司完成了超过25笔联合体交易，在推出首只机构基金前先行测试和优化其主题聚焦。
Antares first operated as a syndicate, executing deal-by-deal investments through special purpose vehicles (SPVs). Between 2019 and 2023, the firm completed over 25 syndicated deals, testing and refining its thematic focus before launching its first institutional fund last year.
此后，Antares已构建起一个涵盖东南亚、南亚及部分全球市场的约20家公司的投资组合。
Since then, Antares has built a portfolio of around 20 companies spanning Southeast Asia, South Asia and selected global markets.
这些公司中约有一半总部位于亚洲，其余则是通过Antares网络向该地区扩张的国际初创企业。
About half of these companies are headquartered in Asia, while the rest are international startups expanding into the region through Antares’ network.
