South and Southeast Asia are
some of the most compelling
economic development stories
globally. Soapbox Capital focuses
on these markets to maximize
returns. First-time funds in
emerging markets had an internal
rate of return of more than 25%
compared to 11.3% of vehicles that
are Fund IV or later. Additionally,
the potential of these two markets
means that investors are likely to
benefit from their investments in
the region in the long term

For Startups
Soapbox Capital looks for startups with outstanding teams, differentiated products and a large total market.
We look for a strong startup team with a vision, passion, and possibly a successful track record. We also look for defensible businesses with strong IPs and high barriers to entry. The products we look for have to be disruptive and have “game changer” traits in their geographical region. Finally, we look for scalable businesses with high growth potential. Screening will first be conducted by analysts and Soapbox’s General partners. Afterwards the best teams will be greenlit by our seasoned investment committee.
