Startup Cambodia, a platform for accessing database of startup companies in Cambodia, is set to launch officially next month, the company’s spokesman said yesterday. The platform, which is the brainchild of online startup and technology-focused media outlet Geeks, will initially serve as a basic database for information on registered startups and potential angel investors. Roman Di Geronimo, communications specialist at capital-raising platform, said Startup Cambodia could become a useful tool for local entrepreneurs to tap into early-stage funding. The database already includes 300 entries, but is expected to grow exponentially after the November launch when startups and potential investors can request to be listed free of charge. Besides seeking to connect startups with investors, the platform hopes to assist fledgling companies to find sustainable business models that strengthen growth potential. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)
