Singapore's 20 hottest startups to watch in 2017

Fintech and property dominate 2017 list.

This is our sixth edition of the hottest startups issue where we present notable and up-and-coming local startups. To compile the list, we first looked at the weekly startups we feature on our website, https://sbr.com.sg, and we then filtered by amount of funding raised.

We do not include startups where funding is not disclosed, and the companies must have formed in the last three years. Then we checked our list with eight industry players to weed out any companies that do singapore’s hottest startups 2017 not make the grade. This year’s hottest startups average funding was $3.2m compared to $1.5m last year.

We don’t claim that this is the most comprehensive list, and whilst we have tried to verify funding quantums, we cannot verify all amounts declared. Nevertheless, we feel this list represents the most talked about startups in Singapore. Enjoy the read and send feedback to [email protected].

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
