Huawei Spark Ignite 2021 - Global Startup Competition

AngelCentral is one of the fastest growing angel investment networks in Singapore & Southeast Asia. We organize regular angel investment workshops, curated startup pitch sessions and provide syndication services.

 

The idea for AngelCentral started in late 2016 as a community initiative by the Partners to share their personal experiences and lessons learnt on angel investing. As they meet hundreds of startups annually, they decided to further value add via pitch sessions, where promising startups present and pitch to interested angel investors.

 

With the initial success and validation of their efforts in 2017, AngelCentral incorporated officially in February 2018 with the mission to build a community of effective angel investors in Singapore & Southeast Asia. Since Inception, AngelCentral has trained >300 angel investors and our members have invested >S$16m into the startups.
