Why E-WA Matters

Social Impact focused

At SUSS, we guide our startups towards both profitability and purpose. Our goal is to support the development of impactful ventures that achieve a double bottom line.

Mentor

Each participant will be paired with an experienced mentor who will provide mentorship and guidance, helping you progress from the idea stage to initial launch.

Post-Programme Funding

Access up to S$25,000 equity-free funding. All participants are fast-tracked for the Ngee Ann Kongsi-SUSS Social Impact Grant.

Co-working space

VB participants have access to the co-working space in SUSS Student Success Centre, Level 4, Social Innovation Space for the duration of the programme.

Sponsored & Equity-Free

The VB programme is entirely equity-free and a kickstart funding of S$4,500 is provided by donors to support the impact venture of each participant, upon completion of the deliverables
