Angel Investment Network (AIN), the world’s largest online angel investment platform, has announced the launch of its first Chinese language site in Singapore. This strategic move aims to capitalise on the entrepreneurial potential of the Chinese-speaking population and the dynamic growth of the region. With 17% of the global population speaking Chinese, AIN is expanding its reach to connect investors with early-stage startups in one of its top 10 markets.
The decision to launch in Singapore, a key global financial hub, is driven by the country’s high rate of bilingualism, which is expected to enhance engagement and local investment activity. Mike Lebus, co-founder of AIN, stated, “We are delighted to launch our first Chinese language site in Singapore. This is a strategic step to break down language barriers and directly support entrepreneurs in markets we haven’t yet covered in their local language.”
AIN, founded in 2004, now operates 42 networks across 90 countries with over 2 million users. The new site is part of AIN’s commitment to improving accessibility for its international user base. The platform has supported tens of thousands of businesses worldwide, with investments ranging from £10,000 to £1m.
The launch marks a significant milestone in AIN’s global expansion, aiming to connect more investors with innovative startups. As the largest angel investment community globally, AIN continues to support ambitious founders in scaling their businesses.
