Singapore’s Crowdfunding Scene Leaps Forward with Three-Party Alliance

CoAssets, FundedByMe, and New Union come together to form an international platform to up the crowdfunding game in Southeast Asia

Crowdfunding platforms CoAssets, FundedByMe, and New Union bring their specializations together in an official alliance to grow the crowdfunding industry in Southeast Asia. Altogether, the alliance has recorded over S$200 million dollars raised through international campaigns to date, and have exciting plans to accelerate this growth in the coming months.

With the crowdfunding industry in Southeast Asia still relatively young, the alliance sees huge potential in developing the region, beginning with market education, and later moving towards building the industry as a credible, trustworthy environment to grow. Crowdfunding’s exponential growth in Asia[1] shows that there is indeed a great opportunity to initiate advancements in this space.

“We hope to shed positive light on the crowdfunding industry and attract stakeholders to help us further grow the crowdfunding scene in Southeast Asia,” says Getty Goh, founder and CEO of CoAssets.

By forming an alliance from three different crowdfunding backgrounds, the members aim to provide both an alternative financing scheme for SMEs and entrepreneurs, while simultaneously providing another platform of investment to interested parties.

“Through this alliance, we are able to pool together our networks, bringing together the biggest and most influential players in each industry, with both international reach, and local expertise. It is truly exciting to begin working with such capable and likeminded partners in the industry,” says Daniel Daboczy, Founder and CEO of FundedByMe.

With strong goals to ramp up the crowdfunding scene in Southeast Asia and to firmly establish crowdfunding as the next big thing in finance, the alliance has lined up a combined project for Q3 2015, and is also looking towards joint conferences in the next few months.
