What if the future of venture capital isn’t about burning through millions to chase billion-dollar valuations, but about building resilient, values-driven companies that can survive and thrive in any market condition?
HASAN.VC’s first-ever Impact Report reveals a radically different approach to early-stage investing, one that’s producing remarkable results across Southeast Asia and beyond.
As the #1 Most Active VC in SEA and #3 globally in the Islamic Digital Economy, we’re here to prove that ethical investing and strong performance aren’t mutually exclusive.
The Camel Manifesto: A Different Philosophy
Inspired by the camel’s ability to survive harsh, uncertain conditions, we invest in resilient and sustainable early-stage startups over wannabe unicorns chasing hyper-growth. This isn’t just philosophy, it’s producing measurable outcomes:
- 91% of our alumni startups remain active: a remarkable survival rate in an environment where early-stage startups failure rates are high
- 71% are in active growth phase, scaling operations sustainably
- 16% have crossed $100k in annual revenue, with outliers reaching $700k
But what’s most telling? Our founders report an average score of 4.25/5 for feeling “at peace” and “aligned” after adopting the halal worldview and Camel-based approach. That’s the power of building with purpose.
From Singapore to Saudi Arabia: A Global Movement
Our accelerator program has supported 120+ startups across 3 cohorts, with founders from 14 different countries. From Malaysia and Indonesia to Saudi Arabia, Canada, and beyond, this is truly a global movement of values-aligned entrepreneurship.
Behind these founders stands an equally diverse investor community: 60+ angel investors from 16 countries who bring capital, domain expertise in technology, finance, healthcare, and more. This is smart money that opens doors, builds relationships, and provides strategic guidance.
Portfolio Impact: Where Values Meet Value
This report features these case studies of portfolio startups delivering both social impact and financial returns:

- HealthPro: 50+ health facilities empowered, 500,000+ patients served with improved care
- GoTechUp: 50,000+ students gaining hands-on STEM skills through gamified learning
