wGrow Labs/Capital
A lab that writes the cheque, too.
Capital that buys evidence, not time.
Seed investment
SGD
500K
Up to, per venture
Invested directly by wGrow Technologies Pte. Ltd. from its own balance sheet, for selected ventures.
Tied to milestones
We agree on what each tranche must prove, so capital buys evidence rather than time.
Invested alongside the build
Capital and engineering are planned together, so the money isn't lost in the gaps between separate teams.
Minority stake
We invest as a minority shareholder. Founders keep primary ownership and control.
Ready for the next round
We prepare the company for institutional, strategic and sector investors and bring co-investors into its rounds.
Each tranche is released when the previous milestone is proven.
We agree up front what each tranche must prove. The amounts and the milestones are set per venture, with the founder, in the build plan.
How milestone tranches work

Up to a top-quartile cheque, with a build team attached.
Studio figures below are industry data, not wGrow data. Treat them as directional: the Series A timing comes from the studio industry's own reporting and carries selection bias.
Pre-seed cheque: studio median vs wGrow Labs
