About Us

Our Story

...began in 1997, with the publishing of The Innovator's Dilemma, by Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen. After going on to write the sequel, The Innovator's Solution, Prof. Christensen founded Innosight in 2001. Since 2001, Innosight has grown to become the world leader in the field of Innovation and a source for industry leaders in need of transformational change. In 2004, Innosight began to collaborate with the government of Singapore, and began a series of activities in Asia that culminated with the launch of Innosight Asia in May 2006.

During the course of 2006 and 2007, Innosight Asia expanded across Asia, establishing joint ventures and advisory relationships in over ten countries across the region. At the beginning of 2008, Innosight Asia became Innosight Ventures, and launched several new strategic partnerships to create a platform for new growth and Innovation in Asia and the US. Innosight Ventures now works with a range of portfolio companies to shape IP, interesting technologies and new business ideas into disruptive, fast growing businesses.

Our Values

We extract value only as we create value

We believe that value should only be extracted after value has been created. Therefore, we structure all our arrangements so incentives across stakeholders are entirely aligned; for example, our professional staff takes a mandatory pay cut when joining the firm but shares generously in the upside when we succeed.

We do well by doing good

• Financial investors benefit from our social motives through cheaper access to capital, receptive foothold customers, general goodwill generated and knowing their money is earning “double-bottom line” returns
• Social investors benefit from the financial disciplines that both make ventures economically sustainable and create access to massive pools of talent and capital
