1965 Capital is a Southeast Asia–based investment fund focused on acquiring and growing established, founder-led businesses. We target companies with strong fundamentals and customer relationships, where further growth can be achieved through modernization, operational discipline, and better use of data.

We invest as long-term partners, working closely with owners, management, and employees to strengthen operations, build scalable systems, and support sustainable growth.

Our approach emphasizes operational improvement, cultural alignment, and continuity. We aim to be a responsible steward of the business, preserving what works while methodically improving what does not.
