BRAVE Southeast Asia Tech: Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand & Malaysia Startups, Founders & Venture Capital VC (English) · AI Workforce Compression, SGX Liquidity Gaps & Singapore’s Startup Reckoning with Adriel Yong – E673 · 25 Feb 2026 podcast

SGX America can go and invest in your Morgan Stanley's or whatever you American banks there are on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq.

So that's I think one part of it.

I think the other part of it is like how large is the pipeline of companies that can realistically IPO in the SGX?

And I think actually not that many because if you look at companies as a funnel, the truth is just also a function of

size, you do not really get that many companies progressing from like SMEs where maybe they're doing like a couple million in revenue to like tens of millions in revenue and having a massive footprint across like the region or even the world, right?

I think it's really only in recent years where because of venture capital now more companies are expected to like expand across the region or like the world, especially in a much, much more like

Compressed timeline.

So I think on one level, yes, you need to inject capital at the stock exchange level, but you also need to widen the funnel, right?

So like I think, in my opinion, we still do not do enough on early stage financing.

Part of it is what we talked about earlier.

With so much excitement about things going on in AI, I think a lot of family offices, local and regional, have sort of redeployed.

Or reallocated capital to the US.

Nine.

Private markets, public markets.

I mean part of it also is just, you know, venture returns in the last ten years, which I think we have talked about and other guys have talked about, just as not returned to capital to them.

Mm-hmm.

Recycle back into the ecosystem.

So, you know, because of all of that, you don't really see that top of funnel.

I think that top funnel is like getting speed.

I think Deal Street Asia recently was it
