Alex Crompton, the Director of Entrepreneur First (EF) in Singapore, is bullish on the city-state’s venture ecosystem, and takes a contrarian view that its investors are growing in risk appetite and sophistication, particularly in relation to the deep technology cluster.
Noting that Entrepreneur First operates within a broader historical context, he said: “What we’re seeing is that this era seems to be a time for highly ambitious individuals with a much larger scope for impact than there has ever been… Fundamentally, EF is founded around this thesis that what the most ambitious people do has changed, but the institutions that support them in their ambitions have not.”
