We spoke to them to get the lowdown on their experience. “After we won the People’s Choice Award at Echelon 2014, Starhub (a major Singapore telco) approached us to join their new site, Crowdtivate.” said Julian Lee. “We are incredibly excited and honoured to be one of their launch projects - we believe in their vision of a pan-Asian crowdfunding site featuring Asian startups and targeting Asian consumers.” Since launching Ambi Climate on Crowdtivate, they have seen backers from throughout Asia, including countries that they hadn’t previously considered such as Thailand and Vietnam. They have also seen backers from a range of other countries across the globe, including the UK, US, Australia, Greece, and others. As they enter the final stages of their campaign, Ambi Labs is currently considering their next steps to engage with this more global supporter base. You can follow t
