Nurturing Deep FinTech Entrepreneurs
Our Focus
We like to work with early-stage entrepreneurs who are just beginning their entrepreneurship journey. We are equipped with the knowledge and expertise in assisting you at the very early stage of product and startup building. If you are ideating or prototyping, we love to speak to you and be a part of your journey.
We also welcome all researchers seeking to commercialize research from labs to speak with us. AIDF hosts a large number of research projects with commercialization in mind and has strong capabilities to do so. Specifically, NUS Researchers keen to explore innovative solutions in Fintech can apply for AIDF’s $500,000 research grant.
