Daily Briefing: Singapore rolls out fuel price comparison site; Caregiving startup Homage caps off Series B funding

And Singapore-based multi-family office Golden Equator expands into Brunei.

From CNA:

Motorists can now check fuel prices and promotions for different retailers on a new website launched on Monday (Jan 13).

The fuel price comparison website Fuel Kaki was created by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) and supported by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore.

The website lets motorists compare fuel prices across retailers, check loyalty programmes and promotions, and estimate the price they will pay per litre after discounts. It is available on both desktop and mobile.

Exxon Mobil, which runs the Esso stations, has agreed to provide information on their fuel prices and promotions, said CASE.

From DealStreetAsia:

Singapore’s home-based caregiving startup Homage has raised a “double-digit” round of Series B funding led by EV Growth, the company said in a statement.

Participating in the round are new investors Alternate Ventures and KDV, as well as existing backer HealthXCapital, who joined the company’s Series A funding round in July 2018.

Launched in 2017, Homage delivers personalised care to individuals, families, and organisations to enable wellness and recovery, be it at home, point-to-point (for medical tourism or escort and transportation), or care within health and aged care facilities.

It looks to serve the increasing number of the elderly population, which by 2050 is predicted to exceed the number of children globally, placing an unprecedented demand for such services. Through its platform, Homage interviews each care professional, screening them on aptitude and soft skills.

From e27:

Singapore-based multi-family office and digital consulting group Golden Equator has announced its expansion into Brunei.

This follows the group’s $24.63m (US$18.3m) strategic investment in April 2019 from serial entrepreneur-investor Taizo Son and investors from the Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Brunei.

The group behind Golden Equator Consulting (GECo) plans to create a stronger connection between Brunei and the region via Singapore to build up its investment and entrepreneurship capabilities.

The expansion will see three of the group’s businesses established — Golden Equator Wealth (GEW), Golden Equator Consulting (GECo), and SPECTRUM – in Brunei.

The group has also appointed Aziemah Abdullah as Country Head, who will lead its in-market expansion activities in Brunei. She was most recently with the Royal Brunei Technical Services (RBTS), leading its business development and expansion initiatives.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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