Silicon Valley, Meet Singapore
East river partners up with 500 Startups to bring exceptional startups to Singapore
Osome, online solution for business admin, forms a strategic partnership with the Silicon Valley-based venture firm and seed accelerator, 500 Startups, by joining their Global Launch initiative. The programme, supported by Enterprise Singapore, will see exceptional startups from around the world plan and execute expansion into Singapore in 2020. East river will provide the participants with their expertise and services in company formation and corporate administration.
The Global Launch Singapore program brings startups from around the world to Singapore, paving the way for them to successfully scale in Southeast Asia through education, immersion, and network. With East river as our network partner, we hope to make the incorporation and administrative processes efficient and stress-free for the program participants and founders, so that they can focus on business expansion.
Global Launch is a 500 Startups program that connects startups around the world to build technology hubs, bringing talent to the region. In Singapore, the program is championed by Enterprise Singapore, the government agency dedicated to business development. It will help post-series A startups from around the world develop and execute a targeted strategy for expanding in the Southeast Asia market, beginning with Singapore.
Helping exceptional entrepreneurs from all around the world to become a part of the Singapore business community is a fantastic initiative, and being part of it feels very true to our DNA. We are very excited to cooperate with 500 Startups on bringing all this talent and innovation here, ensuring they launch smoothly and nothing holds them back.
