First Move is a founder-led venture firm backing early-stage companies built in Southeast Asia with ambitions to scale globally. It focuses on AI-native software, consumer-facing technology, health and wellbeing, and consumer brands. The partners invest from the idea and pre-seed stages and work alongside founders to validate products, develop commercial traction and connect them with talent, experienced operators and later investors. Its Fund I offers initial investments through standard YC-style SAFEs, while the firm’s current strategy emphasises co-building applied-AI businesses with small technical teams.
