In line with their Rise Above campaign, Martell VSOP introduced The Ultimate Start-Up Space (TUSS) in January.
The campaign aimed to provide a platform for entrepreneurs to share their ideas about how best to use The 760 sq ft Ultimate Start-Up Space in Clarke Quay and ultimately reward them by providing additional support and funding to turn their ideas into reality.
The Martell VSOP Ultimate Start-up campaign was partly inspired by the exploits of its founder, Jean Martell,
who arrived from Jersey in 1715 and founded the House of Martell in France at the age of 21.
We want to hear your thoughts about the campaign and hope that you can share them by completing our survey.
As a token of appreciation, 3 readers who complete the survey will receive a bottle of Martell VSOP. Read more
