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 2023 program.

After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just five companies were able to make it through. 

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: 

  • Kokoro - a solution that  guides users to better performance and mental health in their personal and professional life.
  • IFSHAKES - a startup that improves people's lifestyle with the help of a hologram device and an AI app..
  • Equitabl - a SaaS product that enables medium and large organisations measure, achieve and sustain pay equity.
  • Axcer Innovaltions - an online communication training platform for users to simulate practice sessions and improve performance.
  • PAWER SKILLS LEARNING CENTRE - a startup that empowers children with essential skills and character attributes for academic and life success.

The Singapore 2023 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.

Founder Institute Singapore 2023 Graduation Event will take place on December 5
