🙌 We wrapped up this week’s AgFunder GROW Impact Accelerator bootcamp with a pitching feedback and networking event for our cohort founders with several of our valued mentors. 🥒 An homage to our beloved local dish ‘Rojak’ – a diverse mix of fruit and vegetable ingredients and flavours with a spicy palm sugar dressing - the event name is a metaphor for our mentors who come from all corners of the Singapore agrifood ecosystem. Their insights and expertise are crucial for supporting and growing our startups at every step of their GIA journey, and it’s been absolutely invaluable to have their holistic feedback this early on. 🤗 We hope our founders and mentors enjoyed the Rojak, and this week’s deep dive into Singapore's agrifood scene. That’s a wrap for GIA5 Bootcamp 1 🎉 There’s still much to be covered - virtually - by our GIA programme, but the next time we see our founders in-person here in Singapore will be in November for Demo Day. 🌟 We can’t wait to see how the relationships they’ve built and the insights and connections they’ve gained help them to GROW their businesses. #goGROW #AgFunder #agrifood #agrifoodtech #accelerator #agritech #foodtech #startups #founders #impact #Singapore BioDefense | Bluemethane | eFeed Life Science | Fashol | Plantik Biosciences | SAYeTECH | SYLVARUM | Vivagran
