Singapore’s NRF Adds 8 More Incubators into Its Program

More money for entrepreneurs in Singapore! The National Research Foundation (NRF) has just selected eight additional incubators for its Technology Incubation Scheme (TIS), we learned just hours ago.

The eight incubators are Get2Volume, Golden Gate Venture Investments, Incuvest, Jungle Ventures, Red Dot Ventures, The Biofactory, The Network Fund (TNF), and WaveMaker Labs.

Under TIS, NRF will provide co-funding up to 85 percent of total investment for each company (or a maximum of S$500,000 per investment). The partnering VC will provide the rest of the investment. NRF also offers a buyout option for its share in the invested company to be bought out, at a price of 1.1 times capital in the first 2 years, and 1.15 times capital in the third year. But only Singapore-based startups can enjoy funding under the TIS.
