SINGAPORE: LinkedIn published on Wednesday (Sept 27) its list of the top 10 Singapore companies on the rise, just in case any of them sparks your interest and sets you on the path to the next phase in your career.
Just like last year, most of the top start-ups are in fintech. With Singapore being one of the wealthiest cities in the world, people are looking for ways to manage their money well.
LinkedIn noted that amid a sharp decrease in venture capital funding, with as much as a 71 per cent drop in Southeast Asia funding in the first half of this year, Singapore obtained the lion’s share of investments, getting S$1.64 billion. This makes the Little Red Dot the most-funded city in Southeast Asia for this period.
