About Apis Partners
Founded in 2014, Apis was built on a simple conviction: that investing in financial infrastructure and services creates both strong returns and tangible impact. From offices in London, Dubai and Singapore, we have deployed over $1 billion across three funds into businesses reshaping financial infrastructure and services globally.
Our focus is consistent and deliberate: backing businesses that sit at the intersection where technology enables efficiency and reach but where value is driven by durable and scalable business models.
This positioning underpins both our investment approach and our exit discipline.

Our strategy
Deep financial infrastructure and services expertise
We partner closely with management teams to drive strategic priorities that deliver measurable, durable growth. Our sector focus means we add value from day one, rather than learning on the job.
Minority positions with strong governance rights
Every investment is approached with a focus on alignment, downside protection and clear decision-making. A structured and disciplined framework guides each investment from entry through to exit.
Scaling institutional-grade businesses
We play an active role in shaping strategy, growth and capital allocation. This includes sourcing and executing M&A, strengthening management teams, expanding into new geographies and embedding operational discipline.
We invest with exit in mind
Value creation plan is built from day one with strategic buyers in mind. This discipline is reflected in the fact that most exits are to strategics, and in a consistent track record of delivering early liquidity to investors.
Impact is a natural outcome, not a trade-off
We focus on delivering outstanding financial returns while creating positive impact. The platforms we back extend financial access at scale, making impact a natural outcome of commercial success.
“We invest with the exit in mind. We know who the likely buyers of the businesses before we invest – this shapes the growth plan, the value creation priorities, and ultimately the returns we deliver to our investors.”
Udayan Goyal Apis co-founder
Our values
Our deeply embedded values shape our approach to driving strategic outcomes and realising stakeholder value.
We adapt quickly to changes we foresee affecting the market and react in real time to new developments. Technology-driven financial services continue to be one of the great investment opportunities of our time. The opportunity has globalised like never before and we are excited to support innovators and investors to redefine and disrupt the sector.
We are aware of our strengths and have structured Apis to play to our competencies. This gives us confidence to trust our knowledge and experience, and make bold, intelligent choices.
We believe in integrity of thought, words and action. We are transparent in our structure and our investments and are forthright in our views with all our partners at every step of the way.
A robust financial infrastructure can help to protect society against volatility and uncertainty, and can enable investments in better health, education and self-employment opportunities.
We strive to accelerate the democratisation of finance worldwide so that everyone has access to the products and tools to enhance their lives.
We operate as a single, integrated team across offices, collaborating closely on every investment. From origination through ownership and exit, we work to a shared vision, ensuring consistent judgement, aligned decision‑making and collective accountability.
