Venture Capital Recruiter

Singapore’s venture capital market moved into 2025 with strong momentum and a tighter focus on regional scale. Firms needed talent with sector depth in fintech, AI, climate tech and enterprise software, plus the regional reach to work across Southeast Asia. The challenge was that the pool of experienced investors stayed small while demand kept rising, which made hiring competitive and slower than many firms expected.

What makes Singapore’s VC environment distinct is its role as the financial and operational hub for ASEAN. Dealflow is stabilising, founders are more experienced than in past cycles and capital is shifting toward higher-quality, fundamentals-driven opportunities. in the future, the market is expected to lean even harder into deep tech and sustainability, backed by government programmes and corporate investment. Firms will need people who can evaluate technical risks, manage cross-border portfolios and support scale-ups entering new markets.

Selby Jennings helps firms prepare for this shift by delivering talent that fits Singapore’s current needs and the demands of the next two years.
