Can you tell us about some of the startups you’re working with at the moment, and which ones you think could do well in Singapore??

Singapore’s first Pitchflix REV event at JTC Corporation’s Galleries space provided a unique opportunity for founders and investors to connect. It highlighted the importance of finding investors who offer not just funding but partnership and support. The event’s reverse pitching format allowed for personal connections, helping founders and investors explore potential collaborations beyond traditional pitch decks. Organized by Shane Smith and the Pitchflix team, it opened new avenues for meaningful relationships in the startup community.
