River is the world’s first and only Industry 5.0 venture studio, an incubator-accelerator that inclusively empowers DeepTech startups from across the globe. We are backed by Enterprise Singapore. River is built on the foundation of LetLab, an Enterprise Singapore-backed Industry 4.0 accelerator and corporate innovation arm of UCT, a U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturer. The Founder-CEO of River Venture Studio, is also the one who built LetLab in SG, transforming the industry4.0/5.0 landscape if SG since 2022. Operates on three core pillars: 1️⃣ Running a cohort-less incubator-accelerator model that supports startups from ideation to exit, throughout their life cycle. 2️⃣ Intense focus on intellectual property creation, licensing in DeepTech industry5.0 space 3️⃣ Prioritising Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in DeepTech venture creation A unique value proposition: Every startup in our portfolio engages in a proof-of-concept with corporates/SMEs, addressing real unmet needs and scaling globally. Founders note: "In less than a year, through my pregnancy and maternity, I have built an accelerator and an ecosystem for Industry 4.0. I mapped the unmet needs of industries, and onboarded startups and innovations from tech transfer offices to address the needs. Through the journey, I realized the ultra-lean representation of women and. other representative minorities in the industry4.0 space. Withholding half the world population from access to information and resources; denying them a platform to share their perspectives, ideas; denying them an opportunity to create deeptech ventures, will be detrimental to an inclusive society that is empowered by technology. Industry 5.0, is the future of world... It just took someone and a community to lead us to where we are today as a modern society. Im one of those many someones who could envision that women and other representational minorities and industry 5.0 will lead us into the future."
