Spaze Ventures launches ESG-backed edtech accelerator

It will provide early-stage edtech startups with up to $500,000.

Seed capital firm Spaze Ventures has launched Singapore’s first educational technology (edtech) accelerator supported by enterprise development agency Enterprise Singapore (ESG), according to a press release.

Called EduSpaze, the new accelerator will provide early-stage edtech firms up to $500,000 funding. The program offers customised resources aiming to addresses specific requirements of each company.

“Drawing on my background in the edtech space in Finland, I would like to leverage global best practices to help stimulate innovation in the space here in Singapore,” said Niko Lindholm, EduSpaze programme director and former xEdu edtech accelerator director in Finland.

Application for the inaugural EduSpaze cohort is open until 20 December. Up to ten companies will then be selected to begin the programme in February 2020.

EduSpaze has established partnerships with educational organisations and institutions in Singapore, the wider region of Southeast Asia, and at a global level.

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.
