Passion Venture Capital and Multipeak Global

SINGAPORE, 15 October 2026 — Passion Venture Capital (“Passion VC”) and Multipeak Global have entered into a strategic collaboration to strengthen 800 Startups by connecting participating companies with experienced industry leaders, senior corporate executives and international networks.

The collaboration addresses a challenge familiar to many technology founders: great technology alone does not build a great company. Beyond capital, founders need access to people who understand how industries operate, how corporations make decisions, how technologies move from innovation into commercial adoption, and how companies navigate new markets. Through the collaboration, selected 800 Startups companies will have opportunities to engage with experienced leaders from Multipeak’s international network for executive mentorship, strategic perspectives, industry insight and market connectivity.

The collaboration also creates opportunities for curated introductions to senior executives of multinational corporations, as well as relationships across diplomatic missions, government agencies and other international networks. Where appropriate, these connections may support corporate engagement around procurement, co-development, distribution and other commercial opportunities.

Capital is important, but capital alone does not build companies. Founders need access to experience – people who understand industries, have built businesses and know how decisions are made inside major organisations,” said Davy J. Goh, Chief Executive Officer of Passion Venture Capital. “Through our collaboration with Multipeak, we are strengthening the industry connectivity around 800 Startups and giving founders greater opportunities to learn from experienced leaders and build relationships that can support their journey from innovation to commercial scale.

For investors, the collaboration adds another dimension to the 800 Startups model: connecting emerging companies not only with capital, but with industry knowledge and relationships that can help founders test commercial assumptions, understand potential customers and identify pathways towards market adoption.

Two Ecosystems. Greater Connectivity.

The collaboration brings together the complementary networks and capabilities of Passion VC and Multipeak, creating additional opportunities for promising companies to connect with industry expertise, strategic relationships and international markets.

Multipeak may also introduce suitable companies and technologies from its ecosystem to 800 Startups, broadening the programme’s exposure to emerging innovations across deep technology and other frontier sectors.

Where relevant, the organisations may explore corporate introductions, technology collaborations and pilot opportunities, drawing upon the respective capabilities and networks of both organisations.

The initial areas covered by the collaboration span biotechnology, medical technology, artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced materials, semiconductors, aerospace, clean energy and other frontier technologies built around proprietary science and intellectual property.

For Passion VC, the collaboration represents another step towards building 800 Startups as an ecosystem where founders can access not only capital, but also the experience, relationships and international connectivity needed to turn promising technologies into scalable businesses.
