Singaporean robo-advice software firm Bambu has completed a funding round, led by three titans of the investment world.
Franklin Templeton, a global asset house, Wavemaker Partners, a top Singaporean venture capital firm and Robby Hilkowitz, a private investor, have all jumped on board offering money and expertise.
“We like to invest in founders with deep domain expertise building scalable, sustainable businesses,” said Paul Santos, a managing partner at Wavemaker.
