Xen Capital, founded in 2018 by Katrina Cokeng and Manish Sansi, operates as a financial technology company with its headquarters in Singapore. The company has established itself as an alternative investment platform, aiming to make such investments more accessible and transparent for investors looking to deploy or raise capital.
CEO and Co-founder, Katrina Cokeng, brings over two decades of global experience in investment banking, strategy, and private equity from firms like Merrill Lynch, McKinsey & Co., and Pomona Capital. She holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and previously co-founded and scaled Oriente, a digital finance platform in Southeast Asia. This background in finance and fintech directly informed the creation of Xen Capital, which was born from the realization that many areas of finance in Asia were ready for disruption and that alternative investments were largely inaccessible to those without substantial wealth.
Xen Capital functions on a business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) model, providing technology infrastructure primarily for wealth advisors and asset managers. The platform is not designed to go directly to consumers but to act as an enabler for its B2B clients, helping them acquire and retain their own clients. The company offers a digital client management solution that simplifies product distribution and fund management. This includes a digital interface for KYC/AML onboarding, automation of subscription processes, and management of fund reporting. Clients can utilize "Xen Portals," which are white-label B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) storefronts, effectively bringing their operations online. These portals connect to a wider marketplace where users can find investment opportunities or raise capital in areas like private equity, venture capital, and real estate funds.
The company makes money by providing these technology solutions. In December 2021, Xen Capital announced it had raised $7.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Headline Asia, which was intended to make its white-label portal freely available to wealth advisors and asset managers in Asia and to build out the ecosystem for closing deals. In the 12 months leading up to this funding announcement, the platform had processed over $200 million in transaction volume for private market deals. The company's subsidiaries are regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Securities & Future Commission of Hong Kong.
