Build lasting growth

We're specialised private equity investors with technology and operating expertise.

We form close partnerships with business leaders to create lasting growth.

Our expertise and empathic approach set us apart: as engineers and entrepreneurs, we've been there before and we can work closely and patiently to expand vision, build technology and grow customers.

We believe in the Indo-Pacific's powerful and growing technology & industrials core:
Novo Tellus is entirely focused on investing in this complex and dynamic sector.

Novo Tellus saw what others had overlooked for years:
that Industry 4.0 is a massive multi-year force transforming Asia's industrial core, and that ISDN plays a vital role powering this shift for over 10,000 customers across Asia.

INSIGHT

CK Teo, Founder and CEO

ISDN Holdings

The Novo Tellus partnership with AEM has been transformative. 2 big pivots and 4 years of R&D. The results are clear: our share price grew more than 7x and we posted 8 quarters of strong year-on-year growth.

EXPERTISE

Charles Cher, CEO (retired)

AEM Holdings

The investment in MFS reinvigorated our business. Together with Novo Tellus we improved strategic focus on the valuable Automotive, Industrial, Medical and Storage segments and transformed our portfolio into higher-margin, stable growth.

EMPATHY

Tan Bian Ee, CEO

MFS Holdings

Partnering with us

We've been told there's a difference, from the very first meeting.

We come with an insider's view of the industry. We try to see the business through Founders' eyes rather than the financial mind. We know that culture eats strategy for breakfast.

We're here to build, not just invest, and we've grown lasting partnerships with leaders who share our passion for building great companies.
