free legal consultations for southeast asian startups
share:
We’re excited to launch our latest initiative for tech startups in Southeast Asia – free online consultations.
how it works
Simply click on the booking link, find an available appointment which works for you and click the time and date. You will then receive a calendar invite for a Zoom call and you are good to go, without the usual back and forth by email. On the day of the meeting, dial into the Zoom meeting and a lawyer will be waiting to provide 30mins of free advice.
why have we done this?
The way legal services are delivered is rapidly changing. We successfully launched our suite of templates and doc makers for use in Southeast Asia. These are used regularly by startups in the ecosystem helping to cut the cost of document drafting. The next step was to consider how initial consultations with our lawyers could be set up more efficiently.
Virtual consultations booked at the convenience of founders is where we came out, and we think it is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. This will particularly benefit startups across the region who are looking to flip to Singapore and raise capital.
who will you speak to?
The lawyers providing the consultations will be Lee, Chris and Sarah. Together over the years, they’ve advised hundreds of tech startups across Southeast Asia on fundraising and M&A transactions. So we have plenty of expertise and market knowledge to share.

We’re happy to have advised Singapore-based synthetic data company Betterdata on an oversubscribed seed round of $1.65 million, led by Investible.
The company was founded in 2021 by Dr. Uzair Javaid and Kevin Yee and allows clients to share data faster and more securely in compliance with stricter data privacy regulations being introduced around the world. Betterdata uses generative AI to convert real data into synthetic data that looks, feels, and behaves like real datasets. These synthetic datasets retain the structure and correlations of the original data while eliminating the privacy and security concerns that come with holding and sharing sensitive data.
Betterdata plans to use the funding to publicly launch its product, hire more staff as the company scales, and improve its technology stack, with the aim of providing support for single-table, multi-table, and time-series datasets. The company also plans to expand across the Asia-Pacific region over the next two years.
