Vertex Growth Fund is the dedicated growth equity arm of Vertex Holdings, a global venture capital network that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, Singapore's state-owned investment company. Established to support later-stage technology companies, Vertex Growth leverages its deep industry expertise and extensive global network to identify and scale promising businesses. The fund focuses on providing significant capital and strategic guidance to companies poised for substantial expansion, aiming to be a long-term partner through their growth journey.

The firm primarily targets high-growth technology companies, typically investing in Series B rounds and beyond.

Geographically, Vertex Growth maintains a global outlook, with a strong emphasis on key innovation hubs including Southeast Asia, China, Israel, and the United States. This diversified approach allows them to tap into a wide array of high-potential markets and technologies.

Vertex Growth has demonstrated its commitment to the growth stage with substantial capital pools. Its inaugural fund, Vertex Growth Fund I, successfully closed in 2019 with a total capital commitment of $290 million. Building on this momentum, the firm launched and closed its second fund, Vertex Growth Fund II, in 2023, securing an impressive $500 million. These significant fund sizes enable Vertex Growth to deploy substantial capital into its portfolio companies.

The firm's investment philosophy extends beyond capital provision, emphasizing active partnership and value creation. They work closely with portfolio companies to accelerate growth, facilitate market expansion, and provide access to Vertex Holdings' global ecosystem, which includes strategic partners, talent, and follow-on investors. Typical initial cheque sizes for Vertex Growth range from $10 million to $20 million, with the capacity for follow-on investments that can bring their total commitment per company to $50 million or more, reflecting their strategy of supporting companies through multiple funding rounds. This hands-on approach, combined with their robust financial backing and global reach, positions Vertex Growth as a significant player in the late-stage venture capital landscape, particularly for companies seeking to scale internationally.
