The founders of Singapore-based boutique investment bank SEAbridge Partners have launched Match.asia, an online M&A marketplace aimed at streamlining dealmaking in Southeast Asia.
Helps leverage SEAbridge’s global network
Match.asia seeks to tackle common pain points in traditional mergers and acquisitions, such as inefficiency, limited buyer outreach, low success rates, and high costs.
The platform leverages SEAbridge’s global network of over 1,000 buyers and taps data-driven matching algorithms to pair buyers and sellers effectively.
Aiming to be more accessible
Listings are free for buyers and sellers, with sellers paying a success fee only when a deal closes. Anonymized listings also enable confidentiality for sellers exploring exits.
“Our goal is to make M&A more successful, accessible, and cost-effective through technology,” said Marcus Yeung, founder and CEO of SEAbridge.
SEAbridge through the years
Yeung founded SEAbridge in 2007 to provide fundraising and deal advisory services across Southeast Asia. His co-founder Patrick Linden is a seasoned entrepreneur and venture partner at SEAbridge.
Together, they aim to bring M&A processes online and expand dealmaking activity in the region.
