“𝓢𝓾𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓱𝓾𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓕𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓱” is a movement to celebrate the unsung heroes of the fintech and VC community. Brought to you by Aspire, Fintech Nation and supported by Singapore FinTech Association (SFA), Peak XV Partners and Lightspeed Southeast Asia - these are the investors, mentors, friends and partners that have played an instrumental role in shaping the ventures we all know and love today. Next up, honouring Allen Andersen, Managing Director of Peace Field Limited. “Looking back, the entrepreneurial journey is as much about personal growth as it is about business success. It’s the pivotal moments, often shaped by meeting the right people at the right time. For me, that was meeting Allen - an investment advisor that was introduced to me through a dear friend. The market events of 2022 and 2023 dramatically altered the funding landscape for early-stage startups, creating a challenging environment, especially for B2B SaaS companies like ours that require time to achieve product-market fit and establish a foothold in the software ecosystem. The timing couldn’t have been worse. However, Allen’s support was pivotal during these extraordinary times. He facilitated a strategic pivot towards more patient private equity, which proved to be a crucial lifeline. Moreover, he connected us with experienced entrepreneurs who had successfully navigated similar challenges and led turnarounds.” -Patrick Huang, CEO and Founder of Starfish Digital.
