CORPORATE data analysis platform Handshakes, which is owned and operated by startup DC Frontiers, said it hopes to establish a presence in the fast-growing economies of Vietnam and China amid surging demand for private market data by potential investors.

Chief executive and co-founder Daryl Neo told The Business Times that the platform - which uses regulatory filings to map out relationships between companies and people in the corporate ecosystem - will officially launch its Vietnam data set on Sept 1, to help provide clients with a clearer picture of local companies they have their eye on.
