We got the amazing opportunity to visit some local startups here in Singapore, accompanied by the Slush team and the volunteers. The companies we visited were:
Shopback: A loyalty and discovery platform for online retailers. Customers who use Shopback find and receive discounts easier.
Glints: A recruitment platform for companies to find the best talent on the market.
99.co: A firm focusing on making it easier to rent and sell property via an online platform.
Xfers: A financial technology firm with a vision to build a unified banking payment platform in Southeast Asia.
We learnt a lot about the company cultures and how their day to day business looks like. In the end there was a interesting panel discussion. The panelists consisted of workers from the startups we visited, and they shared their backgrounds and insights in working in a startup versus corporation and gave some career advice.
