Aspire, a finance platform based in Singapore, has launched Aspire Ignite, a three-month program designed to assist early-stage startups in securing funding beyond the seed stage.

This initiative focuses on startups incorporated in the Asia Pacific region that have already raised pre-seed funding.

Participants in Aspire Ignite will attend expert-led masterclasses on fundraising strategies and investor engagement.

The program will also include reverse pitch sessions, where venture capitalists discuss their investment criteria.
