JFDI.Asia was Southeast Asia’s first Startup Accelerator. With five years of experience accelerating more than 50 companies from around the world, we are now looking for innovative startup teams to join us for our next flagship 100-day Accelerate program beginning in March 2015.
Our teams are building products to improve logistics, healthcare, mobility, digital and physical services in the region. The JFDI Innovation Campus is based in Singapore and our startup teams come from across Asia Pacific and beyond.

JFDI.Asia’s Accelerate 2014A teams at Demo Day
JFDI alumni have raised over S$9M in venture funding; about 60% of our alumni raise seed investments typically in the $500,000 to $1M range. SInce 2012 JFDI has launched 50 startups from its base in Singapore.
Teams accepted into the JFDI Accelerate Program get S$25k worth in seed funding, but beyond the money, they learn a great deal about building a sustainable business through the lean startup methodology and how to bounce back quickly from failures.
In the 100 day program they will be surrounded by a stellar pool of mentors from the region, successful alumni and keen investors, all willing to impart their knowledge as part of giving back to the JFDI community.
