Gobi Partners adds four Malaysian startups to the Gobi Superseed II Fund

Gobi Partners adds four Malaysian startups to the Gobi Superseed II Fund

Pan-Asian venture capital firm Gobi Partners announced in early 2023 that it had selected Lapasar as one of four Malaysian companies added to its Superseed II Fund — a vehicle focused on high-potential growth-stage companies in Southeast Asia.

Gobi Partners and the Southeast Asian Tech Ecosystem

Gobi Partners has a long track record of backing foundational digital infrastructure businesses across the region. Its selection of Lapasar validates the platform's position as a category-defining company in Malaysian B2B commerce, rather than simply one of many marketplace operators.

Why Lapasar Attracted Institutional VC Interest

Lapasar's differentiation — owned warehousing, a proprietary logistics fleet, a verified supplier network of over 10,000 vendors, and a growing base of enterprise procurement clients — constitutes a competitive moat that is difficult to replicate at speed. This combination of digital and physical infrastructure is precisely the profile that category-focused VCs seek at the growth stage.

Businesses ready to leverage this infrastructure can explore the marketplace or get in touch.
