HaxAsia Acceleration Program
HaxAsia Product Launch Model
HaxAsia helps build successful consumer hardware businesses out of Singapore – within 9 months startup progresses from
prototype to mass manufacturing
Startups that reached their CF goal come back to Singapore and work with select contract manufactures on delivery of the first batch and follow-on funding round closure
When specific team is ready to launch CF campaign, they come to San Francisco for 1 month to get media exposure and participate in partner program by Founders Space
We help validate products ideas and give money to startup teams to finalize prototype before they join program
We take 10 teams every year to Singapore for up to 6 months to finalize product and prepare crowd funding campaign and work on their Smart City project
US $ 2,000,000 raised on IndieGoGo
