Mekong Capital invests in fast-growing companies, with ambitious expansion plans, and a strong commitment to building management teams that will apply best practices and successfully execute on those expansion plans. These companies are typically well-established companies in their sectors, but which typically operate in fragmented and fast growing markets which present attractive growth opportunities.
