Delegation visit to a iJAM Accelerator startup

iJAM Accelerator by Quest Ventures

The iJAM Accelerator is focused on digital technology. From 2013 to 2016, Quest Ventures managed the iJAM funding scheme for the Infocomm Media Development Authority (and at various points, the previous Media Development Authority, and the National Research Foundation). The Accelerator ran three batches over three years.

We met James very early when we started. There is no doubt that his insights and connections made everything easier for us. Not only James but all of the folks in Quest have been genuinely nice and helpful to us. I think becoming part of the Quest family is one of the best decisions we have made so far.
