GPCA tracks private capital investment in startups in Asia, Latin America, Africa, Central & Eastern Europe and the Middle East through privileged access to an extended network of member firms, global investors and entrepreneurs.
Twenty years ago, tech was an investment silo. Today, tech innovation permeates all industries, from manufacturing and real estate to healthcare, attracting investment across asset classes, from venture capital to private credit and private equity.
Our work looks beyond the headlines to identify where entrepreneurs are adapting the best ideas from around the world to local contexts — and who is funding them.
GPCA is pleased to announce the launch of our Global Tech Council, as part of GPCA’s Leadership Councils. Inaugural members include Eric Acher (monashees), JP Gan (INCE Capital), Kuo-Yi Lim (Monk’s Hill Ventures), Sandeep Naik (General Atlantic), Sanjay Nath (Blume Ventures), Cem Sertoglu (Earlybird), Noor Sweid (Global Ventures), Christine Tsai (500 Global) and Scott Voss (HarvourVest)
