About Northbound

A Singapore corporate-finance advisory firm that backs the founders doing the building.

Why we
started
Northbound

Northbound Capital was founded in 2016 by people who had been on the investing side and watched too many good companies raise badly — wrong amount, wrong investors, terms they regretted. We started the firm to put that experience on the founder's side of the table.

We are deliberately small and deliberately selective. We take on the mandates where we believe we can genuinely move the outcome, and we tell founders honestly when the timing or the readiness is not there yet. A raise done badly is expensive forever; an honest no today is worth more than a stalled process tomorrow.

Capital that backs the build — that is the whole idea. We help you raise it, on terms you can live with, from investors you will still respect in three years.

The
partners

The people who run the mandates. Each has sat on more than one side of a deal.

Marcus Chia
Marcus Chia
Managing Partner

Former growth-fund principal who has sat on the investing side of more than thirty rounds. Marcus leads raise and M&A mandates and keeps the firm honest about what it can and cannot promise.

Sandra Goh
Sandra Goh
Partner, Deals & Valuation

A corporate-finance specialist who spent a decade in transaction advisory before joining Northbound. Sandra runs valuation work and sell-side processes, and is the person founders want in the room when terms get tense.

Vikram Pillai
Vikram Pillai
Partner, Investor Network

Built and ran investor relations for two regional funds. Vikram owns the firm’s introductions practice and the relationships behind it, matching founders to the handful of investors who actually fit their round.

What you
can count
on

The commitments behind every engagement.

We have sat on both sides

Our partners have raised, invested and exited. We read a term sheet the way the people across the table do.

Singapore and the region

We know which funds are active here, who writes which cheque, and how regional rounds actually come together.

Selective by design

We take on the mandates where we can genuinely move the outcome — and say so honestly when we cannot.

No surprises on fees

We put the scope and the fee in writing up front, so what you pay and what it covers is never a mystery.
