Principled Capital for Visionary Founders

As one of Hong Kong’s few Islamic-finance investment funds, we provide more than capital. We offer a partnership built on ethical principles, backed by a Qatari fund and deep expertise in Halal-compliant growth.

A Partnership, Not a Loan

“Many hear ‘Islamic finance’ and think it simply means ‘zero interest.’ The reality is far more dynamic and, we believe, a fundamentally better way to build great companies. At its heart, this model isn’t about avoiding returns; it’s about earning them together. Traditional venture debt can create a stressful, oppositional relationship between a founder and their capital. We choose a different path, one built on the principle of partnership. Instead of just lending you money, we invest directly alongside you, sharing in both the risks and the rewards of the journey. Our success is completely tied to your success.

This approach naturally encourages building businesses with real assets, tangible value, and sustainable growth plans. It fosters discipline and a focus on long-term resilience over short-term speculation. It’s a model that aligns capital with conscience, ensuring we build companies that are not only profitable but also fair and beneficial to the community. This is the core of Censpot’s venture philosophy, chosen because it allows us to be true partners with our founders, perfectly aligned in our shared mission to build an impactful and enduring future.

Our Investment Thesis

Our investment thesis is guided first and foremost by our principles. We exclusively seek startups that are, or can become, Halal-compliant, welcoming businesses from any sector that align with ethical, asset-backed models. We engage at the most crucial early stages, focusing our investments from Seed to Pre-Series A. Ultimately, beyond the business model, we invest in people. We look for founders with substance over style—driven by pragmatic creativity, resilience, and a deep commitment to building real companies that create long-term value, not just short-term fame.
