Our Investment Criteria

​​

1. Our mandate does not permit us to invest in startup / early stage / venture / greenfield type companies or businesses. Prospective investees must have established revenue profiles and ideally be profitable (or have a high visibility and imminent profitability pathway), but require additional capital to fuel more rapid growth or expansion (of which there must be identifiable and clearly articulated opportunities).
    

2. We typically only consider companies where revenues meet or exceed a minimum of USD 3 million equivalent. Exceptions may be made in situations where companies have demonstrated historically high revenue growth trajectories AND have high existing profit margins.
    

3. In addition to the commercial mandate requirements above, as the first B Corp certified private equity firm in Southeast Asia, we are also a highly committed impact investor. Hence, all prospective investments must have a strong impact rationale (whether social or environmental). Each investee must commit to securing B Corp certification within 2 years of Bintang's investment deployment.
    

4. Bintang does not invest in infrastructure deals / assets.
    

5. Bintang's mandate is restricted to ASEAN countries only, with a specific focus on Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. We are presently unable to consider investments that are based outside Southeast Asia.
