Singapore's leading startup players to gather at SBR Hottest Startups Panel Briefing 2019

It will be held on 24 October.

The key players and builders of Singapore’s startup ecosystem will once again come together for Singapore Business Review's 20 Hottest Startups of 2019 Panel Briefing on 24 October at Four Points By Sheraton Singapore.

On its seventh year, 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, StashAway, Golden Gate Ventures, Monk's Hill Ventures, Jungle Ventures, and Entrepreneur First.

There will be six engaging panel discussions featuring insights from high-profile speakers. IncuVest's Bernard Shen; AnyMind Group's Kosuke Sogo; Beam's Alan Jiang; and Venturra Capital's Karissa Adelaide will discuss the growing variety of funding sources for cash-strapped startups seeking the necessary financing fuel to grow their businesses. Similarly, Silot's Andy Li; Holmusk's Joydeep Sarkar and Igloohome's Anthony Chow will discuss the distribution of funding per startup vertical against a backdrop where fintechs are snapping up most of the available capital.

ImpacTech's Kineret Karin and RWDC's Zhaotan Xiao will outline the opportunities and challenges of overseas expansion. Meanwhile, the rapid evolution of the food ecosystem will be tackled by Nutrition Innovation's Matthew Godfrey and Zeemart's Neeraj Sundarajoo.

The lessons from the boom and bust stories of what was once the city's most promising startups will be discussed in detail by Zeemart's Keith Tan; Trive's Ting Yan Leck and AccelerAsia's Joeri Gianotten. Armed with these lessons, attendees can gain first-hand insights on the journey towards the coveted unicorn status from Shavit Clein of Trax, Singapore's second billion-dollar startup.

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.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
