AN accelerator that is looking to attract and groom tech startups and which has the backing of Australia-listed telco Telstra was launched on Wednesday, becoming at least the fifth accelerator to debut in Singapore this month.
A Telstra spokesman said muru-D will focus on software, hardware, business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), mobile, machine-to-machine, e-health, e-security and mobile-payment startups. It wants to take on 10 such fledgling South-east Asian businesses for its six-month accelerator programme starting in August. Applications open in May.
