Antares Ventures is a Singapore-based deep tech venture capital firm that invests in companies solving bottlenecks in global infrastructure, across energy, compute and digital infrastructure, industrial systems, and urban and transport infrastructure.
Antares Ventures invests in deep tech companies that remove bottlenecks in infrastructure that customers are already building and operating, organized around four themes: energy, compute and digital infrastructure, industrial systems, and urban and transport infrastructure.
The firm's thesis points to an infrastructure capital expenditure super cycle, with annual committed capex rising from roughly $2 trillion in 2020 to $6 trillion in 2025.
The firm invests from seed through Series B, with check sizes of $1 million to $10 million.
Antares invests globally and helps portfolio companies commercialize their technology across Asia, drawing on a 20-person investment and operating team plus a network of venture partners and senior advisers across the region.
Antares Ventures has reached a second close of more than $50 million for Antares Ventures I, its debut fund, against a final target of $100 million.
The fund held an initial close earlier in 2026 and will continue raising toward a final close while selectively deploying capital; roughly $27 million had been invested as of the second close.
The fund's limited partners include family offices and corporate and strategic investors from Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea.
