TEMASEK Holdings is actively focused on "aspiring unicorns" out of South-east Asia, and expects to announce a couple of deals in the pipeline in the next few months, its senior executive told The Business Times on Thursday.
These deals come as the Singapore investment firm has spent the last 12 months making a few investments in that space. They include fashion startup Zilingo, which raised a total of US$226 million in February from Temasek and existing backers such as Sequoia Capital.
