THE pace of capital raising among Asian investors is hotting up for equity crowdfunding platform OurCrowd. But Asia's representation among the portfolio companies is "almost non-existent", says OurCrowd chief executive Jon Medved.

That is set to change. Israel-based OurCrowd has opened a Singapore office that is expected to expand the platform on three fronts - the facilitation of capital raising; sourcing of portfolio companies in Asia; and helping investee companies with their Asian expansion.
