Profile
Great entrepreneurial talent is everywhere, but access to opportunity is not.
The mission of Gobi Partners is to discover and nurture innovation that will have a generational impact. Headquartered in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, Gobi invests early in Asia’s emerging markets and provides patient capital for steadfast growth. Today, it manages nearly US$2 billion in AUM and a portfolio of 400+ companies.
Since 2002, Gobi has been a first mover in overlooked markets such as the Greater Bay Area, ASEAN, and Pakistan. Gobi establishes local teams and partners with select universities, government agencies, and sovereign wealth funds. This tailored approach has resulted in investment pillars such as TaqwaTech, gender-diverse leadership, and the Circular Economy.
Gobi’s track record spans acquisitions by Alibaba, ByteDance, and Snap, alongside listings on Nasdaq, HKEX, and Shanghai. Its portfolio includes global names such as Airwallex and Sandbox VR, as well as next-generation champions across fintech, climate, and deep tech.
By investing early, Gobi builds the venture infrastructure that turns high-potential ideas into region-defining companies—proving that Asia’s future is already in motion.
