Ready to Raise Well?

We're excited to connect with innovators, entrepreneurs, and partners who share our vision for creating impactful solutions in climate tech, manufacturing innovation, and health tech--with AI cross-cutting.

About Raisewell

Raisewell is a global early to mid-stage fund bridging the best of Silicon Valley and Southeast Asia. We're on a mission to generate top-tier financial returns while driving lasting economic and social advancement through VC and deep tech. Our world-class founding team includes tech and VC luminaries, Nobel laureate, and former Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

We're hyper-focused on deep tech (pre-seed through Series B) that capitalizes on sectors of greatest opportunity for returns, and with AI cross-cutting:

  • Climate tech

  • Manufacturing and supply chain innovation

  • Health tech

And we move at remarkable speed, closing 14 deals in our first 14 months--consistently co-investing with the likes of Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, Khosla, Lightspeed, NEA, Eric Schmidt, and Meta.

We don't just provide capital. Raisewell's team brings a multidisciplinary set of skills across tech, business, and policy, together with deep insights, a keen understanding of global trends, and networks spanning private, public, and social sectors. We unleash this holistic support system to empower entrepreneurs to scale their visions and navigate complex landscapes. We connect entrepreneurs with potential partners, customers, and advisors, opening doors to accelerate growth and impact.

As part of our mission, we also go beyond the traditional VC role and have quickly influenced major policy and regulatory changes in Southeast Asia to transform the tech ecosystem, opening up the region for mutual benefit of startups and investors on both sides of the Pacific in ways never previously done.

Raisewell is led by Jeep Kline, a seasoned venture capitalist and faculty member at UC Berkeley. Formerly a senior executive at Intel and pre-IPO technology companies and a World Bank economist, she brings more than 20 years of experience in technology and VC.

Together, let's raise well – for our communities, our planet, and our future.
