Almost half a million dollars up for grabs at Telstra's local startup accelerator

It will recruit ten tech startups.

Australian telco firm Telstra today launched its local startup accelerator, muru-D, which will recruit ten tech startups from across the region for its inaugural six-month accelerator program.

Applications will open in May and the program will begin in August 2015. Each of the successful startups will receive $40,000 in seed capital, space in muru-D Singapore’s central business district office and introductions to world-class mentors, coaches and investors.

The ten successful applicants from across Southeast Asia will be announced in August 2015, following a pan-Asian roadshow led by muru-D heads Joseph Ziegler and Jamie Camidge.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
