Funding for Start-ups

Synopsis 

A research report in 2017 by the Startup Genome project, a US-based think-tank, stated that Singapore had overtaken Silicon Valley to become number one in the world for start-up talent. With the Singapore government successfully rolling out innovative new policies to establish Singapore as an attractive location for setting up new start-ups, Funding for Start-ups is a timely book on how to raise funds for new start-ups. 


This book explores the concepts and processes behind fundraising in Singapore. With two decades’ experience advising businesses on fundraising, the author provides a legal practitioner’s perspective on concepts and processes ordinarily encountered in managing the fundraising process, including perfecting pitches and leveraging on legal documentation. 


This is the first title in a new 3-book series to provide legal information and anecdotal guidance on the essentials of setting up new start-ups. The second and third titles are:

• Manpower Management for Start-ups
• Legal Risks & Managing Disputes for Start-ups
