SINGAPORE, 9 July 2025 — Auptimate, Asia’s leading SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) platform, has partnered with Angel School, the global platform training future startup investors, to create the next generation of startup investors and angel syndicates in Asia.
“Asia is home to an incredible pool of future investors — operators, founders, and professionals who understand innovation, but haven’t yet taken the plunge into angel investing,” Angel School Founder Jed Ng said. “We’re here to tap into that potential by giving them both knowledge and tools in one place.”
The strategic partnership combines Angel School’s investor education expertise and Auptimate’s cutting-edge syndicate infrastructure. Together, they will help empower accredited angel investors to take the leap into startup investing and establish their own angel syndicates— responsibly, efficiently, and at scale.
Although the startup ecosystem in Asia has grown exponentially, potential investors still remain on the sidelines. Some of them do not know where to start. Others lack access to support systems that make investing safe and scalable.
Angel School and Auptimate address this by offering an end-to-end solution, from investor education to syndicate execution. Angel School’s Venture Fundamentals and Syndicate Blueprint programs demystify early-stage investment. Members learn how to analyze deals and create a portfolio, as well as how to develop into leaders to run an angel syndicate.
Once they’re ready to launch, Auptimate steps in.
Auptimate’s system makes creating SPVs easy by handling compliance, fund flows, documentation, and governance. These strategies empower syndicate leads to concentrate on sourcing deals and expanding investor networks.
The core goal of this alliance is to simplify how an angel investor can serve as a lead for an angel syndicate—a role that remains rare in the majority of startup hotspots in Asia.
From Jakarta to Bengaluru to Manila, thousands of skilled professionals exist who might be funding the next generation of founders but lack knowledge on how to get started.
However, with this partnership in place, there’s no longer any need to figure things out for themselves. Graduates from Angel School will get direct access to Auptimate’s SPV platform and can launch their angel syndicates without worrying about legal arrangements or paperwork. This significantly lowers the threshold, particularly in countries where compliance can be complex.
“Starting a syndicate was a task reserved for a privileged few,” said Auptimate CEO and Co-founder Olivier Too. “But now with the right training and infrastructure in place, nearly anybody can do this.”
