About Holdex
We are Holdex, a Web3 startup venture studio headquartered in Hong Kong. Since 2016, we have built and launched numerous Web3 products, and our portfolio of startups is a testament to our success.
Imagine us as a startup factory that develops Web3 products. Using our extensive experience with decentralized technologies, we can explore new ways of building and funding ventures together with you.
We’re seeking exceptional partners to help realize our mission of creating life-changing opportunities and market-defining ventures.
Holdex Mission
Over 2 billion adults, about 25% of the world, face challenges accessing financial services. This limits their ability to work remotely, participate in the shared economy, and invest. Issues like banking crises, high inflation, and political instability make addressing financial inclusivity vital.
Therefore, our mission is to launch alongside the best founders responsible and sustainable applications that promote inclusivity and financial freedom.
Our Values
Our team is diverse, but these core values unite us.
Dream Big
Start with a big dream and set ambitious goals. It is essential for challenging the status quo. Otherwise, it is not worth it.
Be Proactive
Proactively identify problems, take responsibility, and bring solutions.
Do the Right Thing
Do the right thing by asking yourself: What is our biggest obstacle? If we do the wrong thing, we waste our time.
Keep it Simple
Success relies heavily on simplicity. To save others time and energy, it's crucial to simplify things for them. Despite the complex problems we face, the most challenging skill is maintaining simplicity.
Create Synergy
Synergies and have an “everyone can win” attitude. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
How We Work
Driven by Holdex's mission, we partner with a few startups annually to build and launch new products. We also develop and maintain deep relationships with each of our portfolio companies .
We provide:
- Shared resources and domain knowledge
- Practical expertise
- Access to a professional network, including industry talent.
Primarily, we build products from the ground up. But we also help revamp existing businesses to find a product-market fit (discover Holdex services ).
Our work ethics are based on our team values and core collaboration principles . We enjoy working with people who share these principles, not roles.
