August Capital Partners is a Singapore based Investment Company with a focus on early-stage consumer oriented businesses in the emerging Asia region (ASEAN +India).

As the baby boomer generation of Asia (those born in the 70's and 80's) takes over from their parents, they will be the wealthiest, longest living, most mobile generation this part of the world has seen in a millennium.

These "BaoChas" (from Chineese Baobei and Hindi Bacha) will do for this region what the post war generation did for the U.S., Europe and Japan. They will redefine social and work norms, and will produce consumer products and services that might be completely alien to western companies.
