10 November 2018 (Singapore) -- After deliberation by anonymous judges and distinguished panelists present at the event, Singapore-based startup PIVOT Fintech was declared the second-place winner by Silicon Valley-based OneTraction VC at its inaugural Growth Stage Awards held in New York City on 1st November 2018.
The Growth Stage Awards featured disruptive technology-driven business models across key large industries with hundreds of startups from all over the world competing. Attended by Fortune 500 executives, founders and investors from the US, Asia and Europe, the startups pitched their value proposition with on-the-spot Q&A from the crowd.
“PIVOT is humbled to win this global recognition and honoured to rub shoulders with amazing talent and highly competitive startups across diverse industries. This win is timely as we prepare to launch a mobile wealth management solution in Singapore with potential to serve the underserved and unbanked across Asia”, said PIVOT Founder & CEO Victor Lye.
Unlike robo-advisers that feature a digital shopfront with a human kitchen, PIVOT direct-toconsumer brand “SquirrelSave” is a full end-to-end digital investment management service powered by AI and machine learning.
