Gadget Nation Feb 16 - Startup Stories

It is a tough job to be an entrepreneur, especially when you are competing with tens and thousands of other web and mobile startups around the world.

At the mention of technology startup ecosystem in Southeast Asia, Singapore will no doubt be one of the first countries that comes to mind.

Singapore is often referred to as one of the most sought after country to start a business. It is increasingly so with the collaboration between the public and private sectors in Singapore. The startup community in the region has become vibrant in recent years, so much so that more regional and international accelerators, venture funds are now setting up offices in this region, most of them with Singapore as an operational base.

In this special programme, Cherish Leow, a broadcast journalist/producer from Astro AWANI, sets off to Singapore to connect with Singaporean based startups, mentors and venture capitalists to learn about the startup communities in Singapore.
