The YoY decline was observed across funding stages.

Tech funding in Singapore fell 26% YoY but grew 9% QoQ to US$397m in Q3 2024, Tracxn reported.

The YoY decline was observed across funding stages, with late-stage, early-stage, and seed funding posting 22%, 29%, and 19% drops, respectively.

On a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) comparison, late-stage funding grew by 48% to US$80m, whilst seed funding grew by 56.5% to US$80.3m.

Early-stage funding of $237m was 8% lower QoQ.

Tracxn said Singapore did not see any US$100m+ funding rounds in Q3, with top funding rounds only raising US$80m (Supabase) and US$60m (Partior).

In the same quarter, the tech ecosystem saw a 7% YoY drop in acquisitions, dropping to 13.

The top performing sectors in Singapore for the quarter were FinTech, Enterprise Applications, and Retail, raising US$208m, US$157m, and US$97m, respectively.

Amongst the three, only FInTech reported a YoY drop in total funding.

Meanwhile, the least-performing sectors were Life Sciences (US$13m) and Edtech (US$125,000).

In Q3 2024, Wavemaker Partners, Antler, and Entrepreneur First emerged as the top investors. Antler, Orbit Startups, and East Ventures were the leading seed-stage investors, while Peak XV Partners, SEEDS Capital, and Temasek topped the early-stage investment charts.

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.
