Fintech GoBear shuts down

It has been facing difficulties in raising more funding.

Singapore-based financial platform GoBear is shutting down, citing difficulties in raising more funding, according to a statement.

It will begin the process of closing the business, it added.

In September 2020, the firm laid off 22 employees across its offices in Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, and Ukraine.

"It’s been quite a ride with the opening of new markets, launching new products, and building our financial services and data platform one step at a time. We had amazing employees, partners, vendors, and fans along the way that made our accomplishments possible," the firm said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
