SINGAPORE is experiencing a surge in venture capital fund-raising, reflecting growing interest in South-east Asia's startups.

This month, Vertex Ventures and two other venture-capital firms completed fund-raising efforts in the city, each with their largest fund yet. In September, East Ventures, which made early bets on successful startups like Tokopedia and Traveloka, raised US$30 million that will go towards seed capital and early-stage financing.
