Singapore is the Silicon Valley of Southeast Asia.
A long history of public support for startups has created an umbrella suite of programs to guide startups through their journeys.
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.
The best kind of investors are those who are entrepreneurs themselves, and James is one of the best in that category – he is authentic, supportive and knowledgeable. He is both a great coach for founders, as well as a master tactician in execution, a combination that is rare and incredibly valuable to find in an investor.
Quest made our startup journey less bumpy. They give us control on how we should grow our business yet provide the right amount of guidance and support to ensure we avoid making costly mistakes. Quest’s vast network of connections has opened doors to new markets.
The folks at Quest are always approachable and ready to offer innovative and fresh perspectives to tackle problems. Frequent sharing sessions by seasoned entrepreneurs who have ‘been there, done that’ have helped us gain new insights on growing and managing our business. Oddle.me has definitely seen farther by standing on the shoulders of Quest.
Singapore innovates with fresh ideas
The Startup Singapore Quest starts with the premise that strong mentorship is a good ignition point for startup founders. The Accredited Mentor Partners program, part of the StartupSG suite of initiatives from Enterprise Singapore, a statutory agency of the Ministry of Trade & Industry of Singapore, drives the mentorship thesis forward.
Quest Ventures is proud to be in the first wave of Startup SG accredited mentor partners, joining institutions of higher learning such as the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University to pilot this program.
