There are 4 slots left for Battle Ventures’ Founders in the Bay!
Organized by Battle Ventures, Founders in the Bay (#FIB2012) is an invite-only immersion program for Singapore-based technology startup founders to learn about the burgeoning technology market that is Silicon Valley. The program is conducted over 2 trips (approximately 10-12 days per trip) with the sole mission of making friends, collecting feedback on their products and exploring cross-border market entry opportunities in the US. The result: a lifelong bond with fellow founders on the trip, a wealth of new friends and business contacts in the Bay Area, a stronger appreciation for the cultural and economic ties that bind us globally, and hopefully successful commercial and/or fund raising leads.
A travel stipend will be awarded to each founder selected, they are only picking up to 12 founders per program (maximum).
Founder Institute Singapore is back for another run again.
To qualify, applicants must be passionate about building a technology company, regardless of whether they have started their enterprise.
The program supports a wide range of technology industries: Digital media, software, biotech, cleantech, ecommerce, advertising, consumer electronics, and more.

Entrepreneurs in Singapore generally don’t yak enough, so says Jeffrey Paine, entrepreneur and executive director of angel investing and mentorship firm Battle Ventures.

“Nobody is going to steal your stupid idea,” he told SGE in an email interview. Read more
