About the fund
Farro Capital is launching a USD 50 million blended finance fund, Asia Blended Fund (ABF) investing across India and Southeast Asia in climate-smart agriculture, financial inclusion, and health. The fund combines catalytic and commercial capital tranches, allowing us to take on risk that conventional capital cannot while holding ourselves to commercial return standards.
About the role
This is a deal-facing, field-heavy role. That means real strategic ownership of what we back and how we back it and the trust to operate independently while doing so. This role is bolstered by a robust Singapore based team with deep investor relationships and a well-knit team culture. Roughly 70% of your time will go to deal diligence, with the balance split between partner fund relationships and investor-related work. Join us to be part of a meaningful and dynamic high-energy environment.
