Ayala’s startups

A long time ago, before the era of Wi-Fi and smartphones, the country’s oldest business house Ayala Corp. created a new business unit called i-Ayala to foster innovation, and invest in dotcom and tech companies. The group forked out some P1 billion then, but hardly benefited from the investment.

The foray into technology then was deemed ahead of its time. The internet was just picking up in the Philippines and tech investing didn’t have the benefit of hindsight then.

About two decades after, the Ayala group is again building up its investments in technology and is now keen on providing financial muscle to startup companies that offer anything cutting edge or potentially disruptive (outside of Globe Telecom’s Kickstart Ventures). Reflecting its reenvigorated appetite for tech investing, Ayala recently announced its pioneering entry into e-commerce focused on the ePharmacy (MedGrocer), inclusive financial technology (GCash and Fuse Lending operator Mynt) and online retailing (Zalora).

Ayala has so far invested $50 million to $100 million in potentially disruptive businesses.

Ayala also bought a minority stake in a startup company in Silicon Valley that has developed “proven” technology to enhance efficiency of solar panels. To date, this is a small company but with a big laboratory and production lines. “The economics of solar is moving in the right direction which we believe is going to be the solution to many energy problems,” Ayala Corp. managing director Rene Almendras said.

Due to a confidentiality clause, Ayala can’t disclose the name of the solar technology firm. Anyhow, the investment is deemed “too small” relative to Ayala’s total portfolio to compel any disclosure of material info.

Ayala Corp. chief finance officer Teodoro Limcaoco stressed that the group had no carte blanche mandate to buy into just any startup. He said Ayala would be open to investing in startups that offer synergy with the group’s existing business and those that bring something disruptive or innovative to the industries the group was in. “We also have to believe in the founder’s vision and credentials,” added Paolo Borromeo, Ayala group head of corporate strategy.

“That shows you how we are evolving at the Ayala Corp. level. We’re willing to invest seed funding now to new starups whereas before, we were always hesitant to these things,” Borromeo said. “We’re bolder but still deliberate,” Almendras added. — DORIS DUMLAO-ABADILLA
