Through it, StarHub wants access to promising startups and opportunities to advise and invest in them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">Stephen Lee, Director of StarHub's i3 (Innovation, Investment, Incubation) program, said: \u201cThrough Crowdtivate, we hope to tap into a resource of highly creative and practical ideas from local talent. From there, we can support and invest in them, helping them become successful entrepreneurs in the future. At the same time, we can use their services and products as customers or partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">To receive access to Crowdtivate, startups need to request an access code. Alongside technology startups, Crowdtivate also welcomes creative and artistic ventures such as book publishing or film projects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">Video Introducing a Crowdfunding Fund Supporting Startups in Asia \u2013 Source: YouTube \/StarHub<iframe style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GCYI65n_Xe4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">Crowdfunding is currently still in its infancy in Asia. However, there have been some noteworthy initial successes, such as the 3D printer project, The Buccaneer 3D printer, which recently raised as much as USD 1.5 million from the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">Kickstarter (the world's first crowdfunding network) is still not available in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">Experts predict that Kickstarter will enter Southeast Asia in the near future; Kickstarter entered Australia last year. Other crowdfunding models have also emerged, such as Indiegogo (one of the world's leading crowdfunding networks), while Australia's Pozible is already present in Singapore and Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">To compete with those names, Crowdtivate may need to rely heavily on StarHub's reputation. As Singapore's second-largest telecom operator, StarHub can provide absolute reassurance to people contributing funds to projects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #535353;\">We hope this will be a breakthrough project, helping bring more innovative products and services from Asia to the world.<\/p>\n<p data-seo=\"yup-program-link-20261001\"><strong>Ch\u01b0\u01a1ng tr\u00ecnh li\u00ean quan t\u1ea1i YUP Education:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/x3\/\">X-FundUp \u2013 kh\u00f3a h\u1ecdc g\u1ecdi v\u1ed1n \u00abGi\u1ea3i M\u00e3 C\u01a1 Ch\u1ebf V\u1ed1n\u00bb<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/journey\/\">The Journey \u2013 l\u1ed9 tr\u00ecnh ph\u00e1t tri\u1ec3n doanh nh\u00e2n<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u1ed9t trong nh\u1eefng nh\u00e0 m\u1ea1ng l\u1edbn nh\u1ea5t Singapore \u2013\u00a0StarHub,\u00a0v\u1eeba th\u1eed nghi\u1ec7m phi\u00ean b\u1ea3n g\u1ecdi v\u1ed1n c\u1ed9ng \u0111\u1ed3ng (crowdfunding) mang t\u00ean Crowdtivate, m\u1ed9t phi\u00ean b\u1ea3n \u0111\u1eb7c bi\u1ec7t d\u00e0nh ri\u00eang cho c\u00e1c startups Ch\u00e2u \u00c1. \u0110\u01b0\u1ee3c \u0111\u00e1nh gi\u00e1 l\u00e0 phi\u00ean b\u1ea3n g\u1ecdi v\u1ed1n c\u1ed9ng \u0111\u1ed3ng \u0111\u1ea7u ti\u00ean tr\u00ean th\u1ebf gi\u1edbi \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c t\u00e0i tr\u1ee3 t\u1eeb nh\u00e0 m\u1ea1ng vi\u1ec5n [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[134,13,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article","category-su-kien","category-su-kien-khoi-nghiep"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3005"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17989,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3005\/revisions\/17989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yup.edu.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
