With over a decade of experience in venture capital, including deep expertise in the Southeast Asia market, Charlie brings a wealth of knowledge, fresh energy, and a strategic vision that aligns seamlessly with Investible’s long-term goals.
His appointment marks the next chapter in Investible’s mission to connect innovative companies with the capital, expertise, and networks needed to scale globally.
“Charlie has been instrumental in driving the success of our investment strategy and deeply understands what it takes to excel in this competitive market,” said Trevor Folsom, Co-Founder and Chair of Investible.
“His leadership, insight, and extensive venture capital experience make him the ideal choice to guide Investible forward. We’re excited about the opportunities that lie ahead under Charlie’s stewardship.” Folsom said.
Under Charlie’s leadership, Investible will continue to leverage its deep networks, industry expertise, and proprietary deal-sourcing capabilities.
“Our focus remains on being a specialised, regional VC with a proven track record of identifying and supporting high-potential founders and companies,”
“Investible has always been about investing in people, their ideas, and their potential. The entrepreneurial spirit that has driven our success, combined with the institutional strength we’ve developed, gives us a unique edge. I look forward to building on the strong foundation we’ve established,” said Charlie Ill.
Investible is undergoing a major leadership transition as it continues its journey in early-stage tech investment, a space it has been active in since its inception in 2014.
The firm has distinguished itself with a unique investment approach, where its cross-sector and climate tech VC Funds co-invest alongside members of Club Investible, a global syndicate and investor community.
Over the years, Investible has built an impressive portfolio, backing more than 140 early-stage companies across 12 countries and 20 sectors, with notable investments in companies like Canva, Ipsy, Quantum Brilliance, Applied EV, Parcel Perform, Mize, and Renewable Metals.
Investors and industry observers are eager to see how Ill’s strategic vision will shape Investible’s future. His appointment is expected to impact the firm’s engagement with start-ups and early-stage ventures, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region.
As the new CEO, Ill is likely to focus on maintaining the strong institutional foundation already established while driving forward new investments and partnerships that align with Investible’s long-term objectives.
