#Asia Singapore’s 10 best-funded startups so far this year

Investments in technology firms are in decline across Asia as a whole, but Southeast Asia is bucking the trend right now. US$946.4 million in funding was ploughed into Southeast Asian tech companies in the first six months of the year, versus US$826.9 million the same period last year, according to the Tech in Asia Database.

The second half of the year is going to be even stronger thanks to Grab’s US$2 billion in July. Indeed, that round leads our chart of Singapore’s 10 biggest funding rounds so far this year.
