Most people take inclusive healthcare for granted. For millions across Asia’s LGBTQ+ community, it doesn’t exist — yet. That’s what Pride Health is here to change - building the first inclusive digital health platform where care finally feels like care. We’re beyond proud (pun absolutely intended) to back founders Bruce Li, Ariyatash Tungsanga and Shawn Loo who are redefining what healthcare looks like when everyone is seen, respected, and safe. Because let’s face it — the system wasn’t built with queer folks in mind. PrideHealth isn’t just fixing that; they’re rebuilding it from scratch with empathy, tech, and community at the core. Massive cheers to our fellow believers and co-investors A2D Ventures for joining forces on this journey — it takes a village (and a few bold founders) to rewrite the playbook. 💡 Real change starts when people stop waiting for better systems — and start building them.

About us
At First Move, we believe the most transformative companies of the next decade will be AI-native from day one — built by small, relentless teams with the ambition to scale globally from Southeast Asia. We are operators and builders first, investors second — repeat founders who’ve scaled businesses to hundreds of millions in revenue and know the grind from zero to one. We back the top 2% of AI teams driven by true builders, often before a company even exists. Our edge comes from co-building alongside them — validating ideas fast, killing what doesn’t work, and doubling down on traction-backed winners. We connect them to a deep network of peers, talent, and co-investors, and position them for breakout success in SEA, China, and the US. This is more than capital — it’s conviction, speed, and the belief that the future belongs to those who make the first move.

👀 Meet the interviewer who never sleeps. ourteam just closed its pre-seed round to take its AI interviewer across Asia — and we couldn’t be more excited to back them. Hiring has always been one of the biggest bottlenecks not only founders, but for any busy executive growing teams. ourteam flips that on its head — running full interviews in minutes, not weeks. AI isn’t replacing recruiters — it’s helping teams scale human conversations faster. That’s the future we love backing. Connect with founder Yewwai Kong to upgrade your recruitment game.
