Singapore's leading startup players to gather at SBR Hottest Startups Panel Briefing 2018

It will be held in Suntec Singapore on 29 August 2018.

The city's leading startups will once again come together for Singapore Business Review's 20 Hottest Startups of 2018 Panel Briefing on 29 August at Suntec Singapore.

First launched six years ago, the Hottest Startups Panel Briefing has steadily become the landmark event discussing the latest developments, trends, and best practices for startups seeking to catapult into the global stage. The roster of elite attendees from previous editions include Grab, Zalora, Golden Gate Ventures, DataStreamX, and GuavaPass.

There will be four panel discussions which will be graced by high-profile speakers. StashAway's Michele Ferrario, Incomlend's Dimitri Kouchnirenko, Indorse's Gaurang Torkevar, Peoplewave's Damien Cummings and Spiking's Clemen Chiang will discuss how the venture capital scene is faring against a sharp boom in token sales.

Singapore's Series B funding gap will be discussed in detail by InstaREM's Prajit Nanu, Bandboo's Ashley Kee, ZEN Rooms Kiren Tanna and TabSquare's Anshul Gupta.

Bambu's Ned Philips, soCash's Hari Sivan, Turnkey Lender's Dmitry Voronenko, Whizpace's Dr. Ser Wah Oh and The Fifth Collection's Nejla Matam-Finn will tackle the growing saturation of Singapore's fintech ecosystem. Meanwhile, SingX's Atul Garg, EngageRocket's Chee Tung Leong, and Hmlet's Yoan Kamalski will discuss the gaping absence of "gazelles" or disruptive startups with strong growth trajectories.

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.
