MetaOptics looks to SGX Catalist debut for path to profitability
CEO Mark Thng says the listing will give the home-grown startup greater leverage in fundraising
[SINGAPORE] When Mark Thng first launched MetaOptics Technologies’ operations in June 2021, it was out of a tiny office in Roxy Square. The rent was just S$300 a month, but the space was so small it could barely fit him and deputy chief executive officer Aloysius Chua.
Thng, who is now CEO and executive chairman of the semiconductor optics startup he founded, told The Business Times in an interview that those early days were “very difficult”.
But despite those humble beginnings, MetaOptics quickly carved out a niche for itself.
