About us
Building a startup is hard. We know because we did it. Not once, multiple times! Scaling and successfully exiting is a lot harder. We know because we did that too!! We understand the struggles founders face better than most. Being founders ourselves, we know the pains of raising capital. We saw the need for a founder-friendly, early-stage VC fund. Given how fast technology evolves, we also saw the need for a VC that understood tech like the back of their palm. nVentures is a seed fund focusing on B2B Fintech startups in South & Southeast Asia. We invest in proven models to scale them efficiently geographically in Southeast Asia. Licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, our vision is to be the preferred early-stage VC in South Asia. We aim to be the gateway for South Asian startups to enter the Southeast Asian ecosystem. We learned that the best way to build a startup is through revenue, not venture capital. To help founders gain traction fast, we leverage our vast network of potential customers spread across Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands and Europe.

Another feather in our cap! Shopbook.lk addresses a critical pain point for Sri Lankan MSMEs: outdated, paper-based systems that waste hours daily on manual bookkeeping. The platform offers customer and supplier daybook, cashbook management, and inventory tracking features. "Our goal is to empower the millions of small businesses that form the backbone of Sri Lanka's economy. By digitising their operations, we're not just saving time – we're opening doors to better financial management, easier access to credit, and overall business growth." – Aabith Sabeer

nVentures Invests in Dossiers to Fight Financial Crime with AI-Powered Regtech Solution. In a world where financial institutions constantly battle sophisticated money laundering schemes, a new player has entered the Regtech space with a promise to revolutionise it. We lead Dossiers pre-seed funding round to scale its AI-powered investigation and due diligence toolkit. Founded in 2024 by serial entrepreneurs Nisal Periyapperuma and Yudhanjaya Wijeratne , Dossiers is positioning itself as the next-generation Risk Operating System for financial institutions. The company's initial focus on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and customer screening puts it in direct competition with industry giants like LexisNexis and Chainalysis. "We're not just another compliance tool," says Nisal Periyapperuma, CEO of Dossiers. "We're building an AI-driven ecosystem that adapts to the ever-changing landscape of financial crime." The Regtech market, valued at $9.3 billion in 2023, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18% by 2032. This growth is fueled by increasing regulatory pressures and the digital transformation of financial services. Dossiers timing couldn't be better. As financial institutions grapple with stricter compliance requirements and the threat of hefty fines, the demand for more efficient and accurate screening solutions is skyrocketing. #SriLanka #Regtech #AI #Dossiers #nVentures
