Digital Mission Ventures, also known as DM Ventures or DMV, is a Singapore-based venture capital firm that aims to build the redemptive startup ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
A startup with a redemptive business model can probably be described as a business built upon Christian values, rather than one that is purely driven by profits.
To understand how a redemptive business model works, I spoke to the former head of GrabPay, Chris Yeo, who co-founded DM Ventures. He’s also serving as the CEO of Doku, a Jakarta-based fintech payments solutions company.
In our conversation, he talks about:
- how he recognised that serving God shouldn't be a retirement hobby
- being open about his Christian identity while leading a Muslim-majority company
- the three tenets of redemptive startups
- the heart posture of a founder running a startup based on the redemptive framework
