🎉 We've raised our Pre-Series A round!! It's been an absolute privilege to have the continued support of our existing #Seed and #Pre-Seed investors in doubling down on our mission to make charging easy for everyone. Just under a year ago, we announced our #Seed round together with the launch of the largest #ElectricRoaming (eRoaming) network in SEA together with 11 #ChargePointOperators in Singapore, with an ambition to grow regionally into Malaysia & Thailand. Since then, we've: 🔌 Onboarded additional charging providers including prominent market players such as ChargEco in 🇸🇬, KINETA in 🇲🇾, SHARGE Management and Evolt Technology in 🇹🇭, and more 🚘 Deployed live usage for our roaming platform, including a closed-door pilot with Grab in 🇸🇬 whilst increasing our pipeline of mobility partners with market leaders including EVME PLUS Co., Ltd., Huawei, WHA Group, (and more that we aren't fully ready to name just yet 😉), allowing us to cover a broad spectrum of use cases from 2-10 wheelers with battery sizes from ~1-420+ kWh 🚀 Gained better insights and connectivity into the #EV, #mobility and #sustainability ecosystems as 1 of the Top 5 winners of the PETRONAS #FutureTech 3.0 program facilitated by StartupX, and as 1 of 34 selected green-techs out of over 350 applicants in the UOB FinLab GreenTech Accelerator 2024 📰 Had the honour of joining the Forbes #30Under30 Asia Class of 2024 for #EnterpriseTechnology marking our growth from powering transactions in Vending Machines to eMobility Today, we've expanded our network to over 5,000 charge points, maintaining our lead as the largest permission-based #eRoaming network in the region. We're honoured to have the opportunity to work with a wide range of partners including charge point operators, OEMs, navigation providers, logistics fleets, rental platforms, payment providers, ride-hailing operators and more to play our part in the region's #electrification journey. #EV sales have only further accelerated regionally, with an astounding 894%(!!) year-on-year growth - in Singapore, Battery Electric Vehicle (#BEV) sales took up almost 1/3 of all new cars in the first 5 months of 2024. Tapping into this massive growth opportunity will require strong operational expertise and market experience, and we're excited to have Ming Maa join us as advisor as we navigate the complex landscape of #SouthEastAsia.

📈 In today's environment, companies stay private longer, but a vibrant public equity market is crucial for sustainable growth. The integration of private and public markets will attract talent, provide liquidity, and drive economic growth. 💰 Despite SEA's dynamic start-up ecosystem and Singapore leading with US$6.1 billion in investments last year, sustainable capital and public equity remain challenging. 🔔Over the past decade, Granite Asia has catalyzed 29 companies to a combined market cap of US$548 billion at IPO, and we’re committed to bringing this success to the region. ✍️ Read the latest op-ed from Jenny Lee and Yao Loong Ng from SGX Group on how we can foster innovation, deepen the talent pool, and create a brighter future in this vibrant region. #SoutheastAsia #Startups #PublicEquity #Innovation #Growth #GraniteAsia #NextGenTech30 #Singapore #Investment #EconomicGrowth
