day pre-competition preparatory Gear Up Workshop.

4. In its third year, SLINGSHOT 2019 attracted over 2,400 applications from more
than 120 countries, including China, France, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Israel,

made it to the three-day semi-finals and grand finals, and also went through a Gear
Up workshop to plug them into the Singapore startup ecosystem, in addition to pitch
coaching, mentorship, and legal clinics.
5. Mr Peter Ong, Chairman, Enterprise Singapore said, “SLINGSHOT has grown over
the years, successfully attracting more and more top quality startups from around
the world. With the new focus on deal making, we gave participating startups more
opportunities to profile themselves by increasing the number of investors2 and
corporates on the judging panels. This was made possible through the strong
support and active participation of global investors and venture builders who are
the key players in nurturing many of our innovative ideas and companies. ”
6. The winners were selected by a panel of international judges comprising venture
firms such as Asia Partners Fund Management, East Ventures, Jungle Ventures,
Matrix Partners China and Sequoia Capital, as well as corporates such as Danone,
L’Oreal, Rolls-Royce and YCH Group. Besides the Startup SG grants, selected
startups also won S$25,000 cash prizes from Danone, L’Oréal, Mistletoe, Rolls-
Royce, ST Engineering, and S$10,000 cash prizes from Sembcorp and The Yield
Lab. Mediacorp provided a S$300,000 media prize package, and FundedHere gave

included legal clinics by WongPartnership for the Top 12, while the Top 30 won
three months’ hot-desk memberships from Found8 and up to 18 months’ worth of
workspaces at JTC Launchpad developments. In addition, all Top 100 Global

Ocean. This comprehensive prize package will give the startups a head start in
establishing an office in Singapore, which in turn will contribute to the vibrancy of
the startup ecosystem here. International startups will also receive Entrepass, a
work visa for entrepreneurs.
7. Past year winners have seen good progress in the development of their solutions
as well as in their fundraising efforts.
a. Alchemy Foodtech, a startup tackling the war against diabetes, has gone on
to raise S$2.5 million after winning SLINGSHOT in 2018. Armed with
technology to lower glucose release in food, it opened a foodtech laboratory,
Cooklab@Alchemy, with the goal of transforming Singapore’s food industry
through innovation. It has already signed more than 20 pilot partnerships
with food manufacturers and companies in the region to come up with
healthier food options to combat diabetes and other diseases. Alan Phua,
its co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Winning Slingshot helped
boost our credibility immensely and made it easier for us to reach out to B2B
customers and attract media coverage. We were very fortunate to also have
potential customers reach out to us on their own after the competition. The
post competition support, both business development and financial, from
Enterprise Singapore was also unbelievable. All this boosted our business
case and made Alchemy an even more attractive investment opportunity for
Venture Capitals and strategics."
b. The 2017 winner, California-based Sophie’s Kitchen, has also set up its
plant-based seafood manufacturing operations here. Most recently, they
nabbed S$1 million in funding at The Liveability Challenge 2019 presented
by Temasek Foundation and organised by Eco-Business in Singapore.
Today, a pilot run to grow protein out of microalgae is underway, with the
grand ambition to make Singapore a protein-exporting powerhouse and an
aspiration to provide alternative space food options for astronauts. Eugene
Wang, its founder and Chief Executive Officer said, “SLINGSHOT opened
up a new page in our company history. With the connections established
and the money we got through this event, we were able to start working on
a lot of R&D projects which we were unable to do previously. These
research projects eventually led us to the grand price at The Liveability
Challenge 2019. Our business has since transformed into an advanced
Page 4 of 15
food tech company that is in the most exciting space. All these were made
possible thanks to our participation in SLINGSHOT back in 2017.”
