"The Accelerating Asia team helped us sharpen our messaging and approach to fundraising and to accelerate our growth. The program is tailored to the needs of each startup, so people that go through the program get maximum benefit for their stage"
Tim Davies
CO-FOUNDER, WAITRR
In 2020 & 2021, signed partnerships & expanded to new markets.
"There are so many situations you face as a founder where you need someone who’s experienced something similar to point you in the right direction. Or give you a perspective you’ve never considered. Or provide some structure to the chaos. That’s what Accelerating Asia really did for us."
Sharon Yeo
Co-Founder TALENT TRIBE
Signed B2B partnerships through Accelerating Asia network.
We really like the no-nonsense approach that was the key thing and the second was the help with fundraising.
The reason we joined the accelerator was because we are first-time Founders. There are a lot of things, we don't know what we don't know and that is the gap we want to bridge with the accelerator program.
Dirk-Jan ter Host
Co-Founder DRIVELAH
Closed US$3.2M seed round.
"Accelerating Asia helped us to re-evaluate our business model and our 2-3-5 year goals. The 1-1s and expert sessions helped us learn a lot about common frameworks and metrics used in similar startups in similar markets.
Most importantly, the
EIRs helped us redesign our pitch decks and prepare us for important investor meetings."
Armin Zaman Khan
CO-FOUNDER, Romoni
"We never actually really considered an accelerator. We had already started talking to investors for a funding round but we were introduced to Craig. It was refreshing to see how forward-thinking the team was in how they approach startups in our ecosystem and comforting to know that the way their program is structured is founder-friendly."
Brian Toh
Co-Founder askDR
"Joining Accelerating Asia is a huge vote of confidence as it doesn’t just invest money but also opens up their high-quality network of investors, mentors and experts to us. I have had the privilege of working with the team who added value from day 1 on our journey to transform the way women (and soon men!) shop for clothes, look good and feel great."
