The Singapore Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Singapore Virtual 2021 program.

Over 280+ founders applied to the program, and after an intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints and constant evaluation and feedback from investors and mentors, just 13 companies were able to make it through. 

The new FI Singapore Alumni invite members of the public to join them live for a Graduation online event, on Wednesday, 17 November 2021.

Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of Singapore's top startup experts and investors.  

And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the Singapore program: 

The Singapore Virtual 2021 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup. We would first like to thank the Local Leaders of the Singapore Founder Institute: David Yeng (About me, Founders Venture Capital), Lenie Chow. Our Local Leaders play an incredibly important role in building the local Founder Institute program, and creating an environment and network in Singapore that is conducive to building to great companies.
