Crewstone International to Expand Into United States via Strategic Investments
KUALA LUMPUR, MY / / April 17, 2025 / Crewstone International ("Crewstone"), a Malaysia-based private equity firm, is strengthening its presence in the U.S. market. Established in 2011, Crewstone has steadily expanded its footprint in the U.S. financial sector. In 2025, Crewstone is further enhancing its engagement, positioning the firm for sustainable growth and long-term success.
Since its founding in 2011, Crewstone has grown into a key player in Southeast Asia's investment landscape, recognized for its expertise in private credit, real estate, logistics, healthcare, and technology-driven sectors. The firm's expansion into the U.S. aligns with its broader strategy to diversify its global portfolio and strengthen its presence in high-growth markets across multiple industries.
Navigating Market Shifts with Strategic Investments"The U.S. market is at a turning point. While many see uncertainty, we see opportunity," said Izmir Mujab, CEO of Crewstone. "Crewstone isn't here to follow the crowd, we're here to capitalize on market distress, just like the biggest players in private equity. The U.S. economy is shifting, and we are strategically positioned to leverage distressed assets and emerging industries to deliver above-average returns."
Crewstone's approach mirrors its success in Southeast Asia, where it has consistently identified high-potential investment opportunities across evolving industries. The firm's expansion into the U.S. marks a significant step in broadening its access to institutional and individual investors seeking exposure to one of the world's most dynamic markets.
Bridging East and West: Strengthening Malaysia's Global PositionCrewstone's U.S. expansion goes beyond business growth. It strengthens Malaysia's global presence and positions Southeast Asia as a key player in international investments. As a bridge between East and West, Crewstone unlocks opportunities for Malaysian investors. The U.S., a global hub for advanced technologies, saw nearly $100 billion in venture capital investments in 2024, while private equity firms closed $565 billion in deals, a 25% rise from the previous year according to Dealogic. By tapping into these high-growth sectors, Crewstone drives diversification and long-term value for Southeast Asian investors.
This expansion also boosts cross-border capital flows and foreign direct investment. With the U.S. leading in technology, infrastructure, and sustainability, Crewstone is strengthening global partnerships and fostering shared economic growth.
Looking AheadOur U.S. expansion marks a transformative step in connecting Asia's growing markets with the innovation-driven opportunities in the U.S. By leveraging our expertise across various sectors, Crewstone aims to maximise investor value while driving economic growth and strengthening global partnerships. This strategic move not only deepens Crewstone's presence in international markets but also reinforces Malaysia's position in the global financial ecosystem.

CEO Says AI Will Replace So Many Jobs That It'll Cause a Major Recession
The CEO of layaway startup Klarna is claiming that AI is coming for your white-collar jobs — even though his own experiments with replacing human workers with AI were a bust. Speaking to The Times Tech podcast, the Sweden-based CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski admitted that adoption of the technology will result in "implication[s] for white-collar jobs" that include, but are not limited to, "at least a recession in the short term." "Unfortunately, I don't see how we could avoid it, with what's happening from a technology perspective," the CEO said in reference to job loss and a recession. On that part, unfortunately, he may be right: we've been careening headlong towards a recession for a while now, and unemployment rates — affected, no doubt, by AI-obsessed CEOs like Siemiatkowski laying people off in droves — are a huge factor. Still, those are bold words coming from this particular Swedish CEO, considering that just a few weeks ago, he admitted to Bloomberg that he's looking to rehire for some of the 700 customer service positions he fired in favor of AI in 2024. The reason? Because, as Siemiatkowski acknowledged, the AIs perform at a "lower quality" than human workers. Despite prematurely pulling the AI trigger in his own business, the "buy now, pay later" CEO insists the technology will get there. "I feel like I have an email almost every day from some CEO of a tech or a large company that says we also see opportunities to become more efficient and we would like to compare notes," he told The Times Tech. "If I just take all of those emails and add up the amount of jobs in those emails, it's considerable." Were Futurism to stake our beliefs by a similar metric, we, too would believe that AI replacing human labor is inevitable. In this writer's inbox alone, there are dozens of similar pitches from companies and so-called "experts" seeking to get our attention from this week alone — and hundreds more where that came from, should we be curious to look. With AI's present-day capabilities, those emails read as little more than junk mail — but it makes sense that a tech CEO who made his fortune on financial promises would see things a bit differently. Like other AI boosters, Siemieatkowski added that eventually, the "value of that human touch will increase" and that flesh-and-blood workers will "provide a much higher quality type of service" — after learning new skills, which may or may not become obsolete at some vague point in the future. Siemieatkowski is, perhaps more than anyone else, the platonic ideal of an AI-boosting CEO — and unfortunately, there are lots of others who will take this kind of prognostication as gospel.
