Startupbootcamp FinTech will organize Demo Day on July 14 wherein the ten selected startups will pitch to more than 500 investors, VCs and corporate partners. The three month accelerator program began on 18 April.
About 380 startups from all over the world applied for the Startupbootcamp and 20 teams were invited to participate in the ‘Selection Days’. After numerous workshops, pitches, partner & mentor one-on-ones the top ten Asia Pacific’s FinTech startups belonging to 8 different countries were handpicked to represent Startupbootcamp Singapore’s cohort.
The bootcamp comprised extensive mentorship from 400+ entrepreneurs, investors and corporate partners, who took a hands-on role in helping the company develop their product, validate their business model, secure pilot customers, and raise funding. A series of masterclasses were offered on topics ranging from lean to legal, and focused partner days on leadership and investments.
