Almost half a million dollars up for grabs at Telstra's local startup accelerator

It will recruit ten tech startups.

Australian telco firm Telstra today launched its local startup accelerator, muru-D, which will recruit ten tech startups from across the region for its inaugural six-month accelerator program.

Applications will open in May and the program will begin in August 2015. Each of the successful startups will receive $40,000 in seed capital, space in muru-D Singapore’s central business district office and introductions to world-class mentors, coaches and investors.

The ten successful applicants from across Southeast Asia will be announced in August 2015, following a pan-Asian roadshow led by muru-D heads Joseph Ziegler and Jamie Camidge.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
