VELOCITY
About Us
Velocity is an ongoing business accelerator program based in Singapore. It is designed to help high quality entrepreneurs from disruptive product or service companies accelerate their business to achieve sales and scale regionally & internationally.
The last few years have seen a proliferation of, early stage co‐working incubators in Singapore. These support idea stage, low complexity companies with incorporation, business plan development and co-working space. They typically attract first time entrepreneurs with limited/no entrepreneurial or work experience. This model might hold value for low complexity consumer Internet businesses, but is of limited value for engineering software, design and product businesses.
Products and services that help solve health, power, water, mobility, education related issues at a massive scale require a different type of support. A successful team with mature managers knows its business proposition better than any external advisor ever can.
Our objective is to provide the environment, facilities and focused operational guidance needed to empower the founders and enable them to reach their own optimal objectives.
