Abstract

Startup. One of the buzziest words today, and yet, there isn’t a consensus on what the word means. Members of the startup world can’t seem to agree on what a startup is. Some say it’s simply a young business venture, some insist that startups have to be a tech company, some say a startup is defined by company culture. Though its exact definition may be loose, its rising prominence in Singapore’s economy is undeniable. The heart of the startup story lies within the people involved in the ecosystem. Investors, entrepreneurs and people who work for them. All of them have their own unique perspective on the phenomenon. From inside the mind of a venture capitalist to the allure of startup culture, all that makes up the Singapore startup ecosystem boasts great success. But with success, comes problems too.
