Singapore-based cultivated seafood startups Shiok Meats and Umami Bioworks pursue merger

Y Combinator-backed Shiok Meats is pursuing a merger with Umami Bioworks, another cultivated seafood startup based in Singapore, as first reported by Green Queen.

The combined entity will operate under the Umami Bioworks name and be led by Mihir Pershad, its existing CEO, while retaining the Shiok Meats brand for potential future use. Notably, Sandhya Sriram, co-founder, and CEO of Shiok Meats, will depart after leading the startup for over six years.

Peak XV Partners set to launch perpetual fund

Peak XV Partners, the venture capital firm formerly known as the Southeast Asia and India arm of Sequoia Capital, is set to launch a perpetual fund. This fund will be backed by its investment partners and extended team, as first reported by TechCrunch, citing an internal memo and an undisclosed source familiar with the matter.

According to reports, this news was revealed to Peak XV’s limited partners at its annual general meeting in New Delhi this week. The new fund aims to explore investment in different asset classes to position itself as a significant limited partner (LP) in the firm’s future vehicles.

Named the Peak XV Anchor Fund, the new fund will be funded by an internal balance sheet. It will enable the firm to have more involvement with its own fund and explore investments in newer areas, the source told TechCrunch.

Singapore’s DCS secures USD 75 million in asset-backed notes

DCS Card Centre, a Singapore-based financial services provider, has secured USD 75 million in asset-backed notes, bringing its total funding for the latest round to roughly USD 300 million, following a USD 225 million fundraise in December 2023.

Formerly known as Diners Club Singapore, DCS is recognized for introducing cashless payments to the city-state in the 1970s and is one of only two non-bank financial institutions in Singapore holding licenses for credit and charge cards.

DCS stated that it will utilize the newly raised capital for the company’s receivables from retail and corporate customers using its credit facilities. Additionally, it aims to diversify its offerings through partnerships with other players. Having collaborated with MasterCard and UnionPay last year to offer co-branded cashback cards, the company is now planning to launch a similar product with Visa. —Tech in Asia

This move into the Sqreem group is an exciting growth opportunity at a time when the market is demanding next generation digital media solutions,” said Mark Rosenberg, director at Trade Indy.
