Catcha Group

Catcha Group is an international Internet group founded by entrepreneur Patrick Grove. The group controls a number of publicly listed and private media, new media, online classifieds, and e-commerce businesses and is one of the largest investors in the digital sector in emerging markets, notably ASEAN. Catcha Group and its related entities have completed over 50 investments either directly or indirectly, as sole, majority, or minority shareholders.

Since inception, Catcha Group has completed a number of transactions with a total of six IPOs in fourteen years, including the 2007 listing of iProperty Group on the Australian Securities Exchange, REV Asia Berhad (previously Catcha Media Berhad) on Bursa Malaysia in 2011, and the subsequent IPOs of iCar Asia in 2012, Ensogo (previously iBuy Group) in 2013, and Frontier Digital Ventures in 2016; all three on the Australian Securities Exchange. In February 2021, the group listed a blank check company, Catcha Investment Corp, on the NYSE. The company raised $300m in gross proceeds in their initial public offering to target technology businesses in Southeast Asia and Australia.

Some of the notable companies started or invested in by Catcha Group include:

Focusing on investments within the online sector, Catcha Group’s investment strategy involves looking at ideas that have worked in more mature markets and looking at how they can be brought to emerging markets, particularly Southeast Asia.

Two further pillars of the Group's investment strategy include the use of mergers & acquisitions as a driver of growth and the public markets as a vehicle for this.
