Tigerhall raises US$2m in funding led by Sequoia Capital India's Surge accelerator programme

SINGAPORE-BASED networking and mentorship startup Tigerhall has raised US$2 million in a funding round led by Sequoia Capital India's rapid scale-up programme Surge, the startup said on Monday.

Surge caters to early-stage startups in South-east Asia and India. Fifteen early-stage startups, including Tigerhall, are taking part in its Surge 03 2020 event, which started on April 13.

On top of the funding it received as part of Surge, Tigerhall also raised funds from angel and seed stage investor the XA Network, US-based early-stage venture capital firm Taurus Ventures, and unnamed angel investors.

Tigerhall said this year it is focusing on product development, new senior hires, market expansion and supporting organisations in digitalising their learning programmes.

The investment will "accelerate the momentum garnered by the team in the last 12 months", the startup added.

Tigerhall aims to help professionals achieve their career and life goals by learning from successful people in Asia.
