4 VCs and 1 funds investing in B2B Platforms
Investment VP
AppWorks
Check: Firm-level: AppWorks publishes a US$200K to US$15M per-deal range across Seed through Series C, with capacity to lead or follow and reserve capital for follow-ons. This is not Michelle's personal allocation range.
Michelle backs technology that modernizes large, operationally fragmented Southeast Asian industries. Her investment cases combine a clear structural tailwind with deep founder-market fit, resilience through adversity, measurable operating improvement, and a path from a focused workflow to a broader platform. Her M&A and accounting background adds attention to cost structure, cash flow, asset intensity, and scalable unit economics.
General Partner
Y Combinator
Check: YC's current program deal is $500K for each accepted company: $125K for 7% on a post-money SAFE plus $375K on an uncapped MFN SAFE, together with a participation right. It is not Jon's personal check range.
Jon brings the paired lens of making a high-trust financial product accessible to consumers and then adapting its technology into an enterprise-grade platform for major institutions. He is relevant to founders who must earn user trust, handle regulation and sensitive data, deliver correct outcomes and translate a focused product into infrastructure that integrates with complex incumbents.
