Singapore

THE startup ecosystem scored two positives on Monday: homegrown dating platform Paktor snagged US$10 million in a new funding round, while Infocomm Investments (IIPL) has partnered Bansea (the Business Angel Network South-east Asia) to jointly invest in local seed-stage startups.

With the new money - which takes Paktor's total funding to-date to over US$20.5 million - the startup will expand into Japan and South Korea, deepening its presence across Asia.
