Kheng Lian Ho

General Partner at Turn Capital

Speaker

Kheng Lian Ho is a General Partner at Turn Capital, a Southeast Asia-based venture capital firm with a mission to scale growth-stage companies through the combined power of strategic capital and operational excellence. Turn Capital was founded on the conviction that experienced operators and hands-on investors can meaningfully accelerate the sustainable growth of promising businesses in the region.

With a sector focus on Consumer Technology and a stage focus on Series B to D, Kheng Lian leads Turn Capital’s investment strategy and portfolio development. Since its founding in 2020, the firm has transformed an initial USD 28 million of invested capital into a portfolio valued at over USD 137 million in assets under management. This growth has been driven by disciplined execution, founder collaboration, and a commitment to long-term value creation.

Turn Capital differentiates itself through a value investing approach—targeting distressed or underperforming early-stage companies where it can acquire majority control (typically over 50%) and drive operational turnaround. The firm’s strategy is built around helping these businesses reach profitability, unlock strategic value, and achieve exit within the fund’s five-year life cycle.
