Singapore's advertising startup funding activity in this dataset clusters heavily in 2022, with seven of the twelve rounds closing between February and November of that year. Round sizes span from $100K — EYWAMEDIA and Aqilliz both raised at that level in early 2022 — to ShopBack's $80M Series F in October 2022, the largest close on the page by a wide margin.

Seed is the dominant stage: seven companies, including the most recent entry (heymax.ai, $3M in July 2024), Bounty Media, AJ Marketing, TotallyAwesome, and Circus Social, all raised at that level. TotallyAwesome's $10M Seed in August 2022 is a size outlier for the stage. Beyond ShopBack's Series F, the only other named growth-stage close is Hepmil Group's $10M Series A from November 2021. One round — Shoplinks, Seed in November 2022 — carries an undisclosed amount.

Frequently asked

What is the largest funding round among these Singapore advertising startups?

ShopBack raised $80M in a Series F round that closed on October 3, 2022, which is the largest disclosed round in this dataset by a significant margin. The next largest disclosed rounds are SilverPush ($12M, November 2022), TotallyAwesome ($10M Seed, August 2022), and Hepmil Group ($10M Series A, November 2021).

How concentrated is seed-stage activity in Singapore's funded advertising segment?

Seven of the twelve companies — heymax.ai, Shoplinks, TotallyAwesome, Bounty Media, AJ Marketing, Aqilliz, and Circus Social — raised at the Seed stage. That makes Seed by far the most common round type in this slice of the market, with only one Series A (Hepmil Group) and one Series F (ShopBack) representing more advanced stages.

Which year saw the most advertising startup funding activity in Singapore?

2022 accounts for nine of the twelve rounds on this page, spanning from Aqilliz's $100K Seed in February through SilverPush's $12M round in November. Activity drops sharply after that — only heymax.ai's July 2024 Seed represents a more recent close.

What is the most recent funded advertising startup in Singapore shown here?

heymax.ai closed a $3M Seed round on July 2, 2024, making it the most recently funded company in this dataset. The gap between that close and the prior cluster of 2022 rounds is notable — no rounds appear in 2023 within these twelve rows.

Are there any companies in this segment that raised unusually small rounds?

Both EYWAMEDIA and Aqilliz raised $100K each, both in early 2022 — EYWAMEDIA via a Venture round and Aqilliz via Seed. AJ Marketing and Circus Social each raised $1M at Seed, placing them at the lower end of the disclosed range alongside those two.

Which advertising companies here have raised beyond the early stage?

ShopBack (Series F, $80M) and Hepmil Group (Series A, $10M) are the only companies with clearly identified growth or late-stage rounds. Tickled Media's $8M Corporate Round from March 2022 and SilverPush's $12M 'Series Unknown' close also indicate companies past the seed stage, though the exact round classification is less precise for those two.
