A research report in 2017 by the Start-up Genome project, a US-based think-tank, stated that Singapore had overtaken Silicon Valley to become number one in the world for start-up talent. With the Singapore government successfully rolling out innovative new policies to establish Singapore as an attractive location for setting up new start-ups, Funding for Start-ups is a timely book on how to raise funds for new start-ups. This book explores the concepts and processes behind fundraising in Singapore. With two decades’ experience advising businesses on fundraising, the author provides a legal practitioner’s perspective on concepts and processes ordinarily encountered in managing the fundraising process, including perfecting pitches and leverage on legal documentation. This is the first title in a new 3-book series to provide legal information and anecdotal guidance on the essentials of setting up new start-ups. The second and third titles are: • Managing Manpower for Start-ups • Managing Legal Risks & Disputes for Start-ups
