We are Lisa Enckell and Andreas Ehn, angel investors and operators based in Singapore. We do angel investments and help founders whenever they need us. We are also advisors to funds and were part of starting the VC firm Antler in Singapore.
Approach is a learning project we started in 2015. At the time we lived in San Francisco, US and we decided it was time to learn more about the world. We moved to Jakarta, Indonesia in the fall of 2015 with the intention to spend the next five years living in ten different countries. We ended up living and working in Indonesia, Germany, India and Singapore for the next two years. In 2017 we decided to stay long-term in Singapore where we now live with our three children.
While the travelling around part of our Approach project has paused, we continue learning about the world by investing and working with startups and funds all over the world. On this website, we share investments we do and from time to time new learnings and insights.
