The verdict in three sentences
For a venture capital firm in Singapore, the website serves two audiences who read different pages: founders (deal flow) and LPs (fundraising, regulated communication). A successful redesign makes the thesis, stage and cheque size clear on one page, shows an accurate portfolio and gives easy access to partners, without promoting performance to the public. On budget, a local agency often quotes roughly 11,000 to 30,000 USD, while the Kolonell fixed grid runs from 2,900 USD (Starter) to 8,900 USD (Premium), delivered in 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready.
Signs your current site is costing you deals
A founder preparing a round compares ten funds in one evening. They search 'seed VC Singapore B2B SaaS', 'Series A fund Southeast Asia fintech' or the name of a partner they met at an event. If your site does not answer within seconds, they move on.
The most common warning signs:
- the thesis is a generic slogan, with no sectors, stages or cheque range;
- the portfolio shows exited or closed companies without a note, or logos with no links;
- the team page does not say who covers which sector or how to reach them;
- the pitch submission form asks for unnecessary data (passport, detailed financials) at first contact;
- the mobile version breaks, while many founders read your site between meetings.

Timeline and redesign risks
| Phase | Indicative duration | Main risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory and scoping | Week 1 | Losing pages that attract founders | Full URL inventory and Search Console export |
| Thesis and team content | Weeks 1 to 2 | Performance claims visible to the public | Compliance review before go-live |
| Design and build | Weeks 2 to 3 | Inaccurate portfolio | Line-by-line sign-off with the investment team |
| Migration and redirects | Week 3 | Traffic drop on partner name searches | 301 redirect map tested page by page |
| Go-live | Weeks 3 to 4 | Pitch form downtime | Switch outside peak hours and test the form |
On regulation, fund managers in Singapore fall under MAS, and public communication about a fund's performance is restricted. The public site targets founders; information for LPs belongs in a gated area or in fundraising documents. The pitch form must respect the PDPA, overseen by the PDPC: ask for the minimum (name, company, stage, deck link) and state the purpose. Have your counsel validate these points. This is not legal advice.
Questions to ask, and when a local agency is the better choice
Before signing, ask: who writes the thesis pages, and how well do they know venture capital? How are redirects handled? Who checks compliance? What happens after the 3 months of support?
A Singapore agency remains the better choice if you want weekly in-person workshops, on-site photo and video of the partners, or if the site is part of a full brand repositioning with a budget above 40,000 USD. If your need is mainly clarity, speed and a controlled cost, a remote team with a project manager in your time zone is enough.

Mini case study
Illustrative example: Straits Signal Capital, a three-partner seed fund in Singapore, receives a local quote of 32,000 SGD, roughly 23,700 USD. It picks Kolonell Growth at 4,900 USD, adds a partner photo shoot at 1,500 USD (market assumption) and an external compliance review at 2,000 USD (market assumption). Total: 4,900 + 1,500 + 2,000 = 8,400 USD, about 15,300 USD less than the local quote. The site goes live in 4 weeks, with 47 old URLs redirected.
FAQ
Should fund performance appear on the public site?
Usually not. Public communication on performance is restricted, so keep it for LP documents. Founders mainly look for the thesis, the cheque size (for example 500,000 to 2 million USD) and the partners.
How long does the redesign take?
With Kolonell, 3 to 4 weeks once content is ready, 4 to 6 weeks for Premium. A local agency often quotes 8 to 14 weeks including workshops.
Will we lose our Google traffic?
The risk is real if old URLs vanish without redirects. A URL inventory, a 301 redirect map and Search Console monitoring for 4 to 8 weeks limit the damage.
Can we add a secure LP area?
Yes, but gated areas, portals and integrations are priced on quote. They come on top of the chosen tier, Growth at 4,900 USD for example.
Should the site be multilingual?
If you target founders beyond Singapore, it is possible with Premium at 8,900 USD, the multilingual tier, languages set in the quote.
