By Founders, For Founders
Helping tech startups disrupt the world since 2009
In the making of a great company, founders make all the big calls. And investors play the supporting roles. As prior founders ourselves, we started AppWorks to play that role. So you can count on our support. We love founders with passion, grit, and determination. We want to be the first investor to fund you and we want to help you go all the way.

The Support We Provide
AppWorks offers tailored support for founders across different stages of their journey. Through AppWorks Accelerator, we help early-stage startups find product-market fit and growth-stage startups expand across markets, with the resources, mentorship, and community to scale. For select startups, AppWorks Funds also provide capital to accelerate growth and long-term success.
AppWorks Accelerator
Started in 2010, AppWorks Accelerator helps early-stage startups find product-market fit and growth-stage startups expand across markets. Joining also connects you to our network of 680 active startups and 2,168 founders, one of the largest startup communities in Asia.
AppWorks Funds
With 4 funds totaling US$386 million, AppWorks can invest from a US$200K seed check all the way to leading a US$15M Series C. As one of the most active early-stage VCs in Greater Southeast Asia, we fund 20–30 deals a year.
Aiworks
Aiworks helps organizations lead in the AI era. Through expert-led training and tailored consulting, we equip teams with the knowledge and tools to put AI to work across their business. Aiworks grew out of AppWorks School, which we launched in 2016 to train software engineers and which has placed more than 1,300 graduates at over 300 companies. In 2024, we transformed the program into Aiworks to meet the rise of AI.
