Venture capital firms offer help for laid-off start-up employees
Coronavirus: Venture Capital Firms Help Laid-off Start-up Employees Find New Jobs
April 1, 2020
Published in The Straits Times, by Shivraj Rajendran
SINGAPORE – Venture capital (VC) firms across South-east Asia have launched a ‘community-led’ initiative to help start-up employees laid off due to the fallout from the coronavirus outbreak find new opportunities.
The anchor of the initiative is a public database of affected employees who can opt to have their names, functions and contact details included in it. The database will be publicised on the social media platforms of the participating VC firms.
They include Saison Capital, FutureLabs, Jungle Ventures, Alpha JWC, Convergence Ventures, Patamar Capital, Rainmaking, TRIVE Ventures and Tribe Accelerator.
Interested applicants with at least one year of working experience can apply to have their names included on the database via a form. Their application will be verified by one of the supporting VC firms before being listed on the database.
The database will also include a list of companies that are still hiring in the region.
The initiative is spearheaded by Chia Jeng Yang, principal at Saison Capital; Simin Liu, an analyst at FutureLabs Ventures; and Rachael De Foe, a freelance communications consultant.
Mr Chia says the trio were inspired after seeing a similar effort by VC firms in the United States.
“People through no fault of their own have been laid off, and we want to create something that can help them here and now,” he said.
Said Joachim Vandaele, partner at FutureLabs Ventures: “Top talent is what makes or breaks ventures, so as an ecosystem, we have a collective interest and responsibility to keep the talent in South-east Asia. Customers come and go, financial capital flows in and out but human capital is what we need to hold onto.”
In the same spirit, Ms Elise Tan, a consultant who works with start-ups, has built a spreadsheet that matches start-up companies to volunteer mentors.
Interested volunteers or start-ups can fill up a form to have their names included. Once they have done so, they will be added to a LinkedIn group to be matched to each other.
So far, more than 60 individuals have signed up as volunteers and have pledged to mentor a start-up for one hour a week.
Said Ms Tan: “Covid-19 has affected many companies around the world. Start-ups with little resources and funding will be even harder hit.
“We are all banding together to help these start-ups by contributing our time on a pro bono basis”.

Today, Tribe Accelerator, Singapore’s first government supported blockchain accelerator, held its first ever Demo Day at Facebook’s Asia-Pacific Headquarters in Singapore. The Demo Day is part of a global demo tour that will showcase the market-ready solutions developed by Tribe’s participating companies.
Singapore’s demo day kickstarts a 2-week showcase across 4 major hubs across the world to demo their blockchain solutions. With the focus of developing blockchain solutions that can transform Smart Cities of the future, the batch one cohort will be exhibiting a diverse portfolio of use cases from verticals such as mobility and supply chain, data communications, fintech, insurtech and energy and sustainability.
The Global Demo Tour will gather key stakeholders and leaders from global corporates, blockchain companies, government agencies, as well as known investors.
More demo days will also be held in Shanghai, Seoul and San Francisco.
Tribe Accelerator has also facilitated the fundraising of SGD $16.8 million for its participating companies through its ecosystem of corporate and investor partners. Tribe thinks this is “unprecedented for a blockchain accelerator”, with more regional investments in the pipeline.
“Building a collaborative platform for corporations, government agencies and innovators to come together and solve real everyday problems, is the core objective of Tribe Accelerator. Our participants demonstrate that they have real market-ready solutions, and the market is responding with the quality and number of partnerships and investments channeled. People are genuinely eager for more everyday uses of blockchain and this is reflected in the uptake of regional investments, and corporate partners that are coming onboard in the months ahead.” Said Ng Yi Ming, Managing Partner of Tribe Accelerator.
Among the first cohort of 10 participating companies showcasing market-ready solutions, one of Tribe’s highlights includes is design studio Mighty Jaxx. With an international fanbase spanning over 5 million users, Mighty Jaxx will showcase its Govtech OpenCert capabilities with embedded chips in their limited-edition collectibles.

The goal is to offer a reliable common reference data log when negotiating their transactions, and is one of the many solutions in the market now aiming to do the same. It will help both parties work out fairer valuations of second-hand vehicles as the common reference data log records information and is untampered.
Additionally, Halal supply-chain solution company, WhatsHalal, will be introducing the next stage of its mobile app, allowing consumers to use their mobile phones to scan the validity of Halal-certified products for cross-referencing.
WhatsHalal is also partnering Indonesia’s state-owned products testing, analysis, and audit company, Sucofindo, one of the largest Halal auditors. This reflects the growing demand in the international Halal markets for such everyday practical solutions.
Pioneering smart-asset company, Digix, will also be showcasing the business-use case for authenticating and securing investment-grade gold bullion through blockchain. Retail investors benefit with the added accessibility of purchasing gold digitally and knowing that the physical equivalents are safely secured in Digix’s physical vaults.

Tribe Accelerator, supported by Singapore’s government, wants to become a neutral platform in driving the collaboration and growth of the blockchain ecosystem.
