muru-D Singapore has graduated two cohorts so far. It has invested in over 20 regional startups spanning across multiple verticals including AI, fitness, fintech, logistics, and social entertainment.

Applications for its third cohort in September. The structure of its programme will also be revised.

“We will be moving ahead this year with our revised ‘founder friendly’ terms.  All future muru–D teams will receive one single investment amount (i.e.; no tranches) using a SAFE note instrument.  This instrument removes all the complicated and often frustrating conversations regarding valuation,” said Camidge.

“As a consequence of this move, we expect to be more attractive to later stage startups who have historically struggles with preferred shareholder agreement,” he added.
