kindrik partners will be at echelon
share:
Kindrik Partners will be appearing for the first time at the Echelon Asia Summit 2019 on May 23 and 24, Singapore’s leading tech conference. You’ll be able to find us in booth 49 (near the Future stage), where Chris and Sarah will be happy to have a chat with entrepreneurs about capital raising and other startup matters.
Echelon is one of Singapore’s largest tech conferences with over 12,000 attendees expected over the two days. Many of Southeast Asia’s most notable startup founders and active VCs are presenting across multiple stages. As has been the case in previous years, startups will get the opportunity to pitch as part of Echelon’s Top100 programme.
Lee commented:
“Echelon was the first tech conference I attended in Singapore and despite lots of competition from new entrants over the years, it continues to be the place to meet and hear from key players in the startup ecosystem. We’re excited to ramp up our engagement this year with our first booth and look forward to making connections with some of the emerging startups.”

Kindrik Partners advised VC firm Illuminate Financial on its investment in Singapore-based AI-driven data processing and automation company bluesheets. Illuminate led the US$6.5 million series A round. Other returning investors included Insignia Ventures Partners, Antler Elevate, and 1982 Ventures.
Illuminate invests in B2B fintech and enterprise software companies that build solutions for the financial services industry. Backed by global financial institutions such as Citi, JP Morgan, Barclays, Jefferies, Singapore Exchange Group, and BNY Mellon, Illuminate uses its extensive network and industry knowledge to help their portfolio companies achieve their full potential in addition to providing capital.
bluesheets offers AI-driven data processing and workflow automation software that helps businesses digitise and automate their bookkeeping processes. It plans to use the funds to further enhance its AI capabilities and accelerate growth in key APAC markets, including Singapore, Thailand, ANZ, and Hong Kong.
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.
