Overview
ESSEC Asia-Pacific's base is right here in Singapore, which is the leading ASEAN nation in venture capital and private-equity investments, and the home ground that created 12 Unicorns to date. Singapore has been closely observed by many as a country with comparatively limited resources and yet has succeeded in establishing a vibrant and effective startup ecosystem.
According to a World Bank Report (2021) titled:
The Evolution and State of Singapores Start-Up Ecosystem
, Singapore has over 3,600 startups and nearly 200 incubators, accelerators, angel investors and intermediaries, all existing to support the seeding and growth of startups within an innovation-friendly business environment. Yet, even if the start-up infrastructure is ideal or even close to perfect in any economy, the distressing fact is that most startups (circa 90%) eventually fail and of those which succeed, only an estimated 2 in 5 will be profitable . Among the Top 5 reasons startups fail are due to cash and funding issues and flawed business models.
