Key Challenges We Address

Deploying capital amid crowded regional opportunities


  • Singapore’s AUM reached S$5.41 trillion in 2023, up 10% year on year, intensifying competition for scalable Southeast Asian assets and differentiated deal access.
  • YCP combines market mapping, commercial diligence and local networks to sharpen investment theses, prioritize targets and build proprietary-origination pipelines.

Navigating softer funding and tougher valuation tests


  • Singapore startups secured roughly US$4.8 billion in equity funding in 2024, yet later-stage rounds faced more selective investors and firmer valuation discipline.
  • Against this backdrop, YCP aligns market sizing, unit economics and scenario-based valuation to help investors underwrite conviction and support portfolio fundraising.

Creating credible exit routes across fragmented markets


  • About 76% of AUM managed in Singapore was sourced from outside the country in 2023, raising the bar for cross-border exit planning and buyer outreach.
  • YCP evaluates strategic, sponsor and capital-markets routes, then prepares value-creation narratives, buyer maps and transaction-ready evidence for each path.

Meeting fund-structure and operating-substance demands


  • Singapore’s 13D, 13O and 13U fund tax incentive schemes run until 31 December 2029, but each carries eligibility, governance and substance requirements.
  • YCP translates these requirements into operating models, governance workflows and implementation road maps, coordinating commercial priorities with specialist advisers.
