Dare to Scale is a founder-focused, non-dilutive support programme dedicated to helping Singapore-based founders and startups scale beyond product-market fit, beyond Singapore.

​

Powered by Endeavor and supported by Enterprise Singapore, this programme gives founders access to the people, insights, and opportunities that unlock scale.

Business has to be incorporated and operating in Singapore.

Founders leading tech/tech-enabled, innovative, high-growth business.

Selection Criteria

Business has found product-market fit and actively generating revenue.

Participating founders are based in Singapore.

CTO HeyMax

HeyMax is a Singapore-based travel loyalty platform behind Max Miles, a universal rewards currency transferable to 20+ airline and hotel programs. Its flagship innovation, HeyMax First, inverts the traditional loyalty model: instead of earning miles slowly over years, members draw up to 1,000,000 Max Miles upfront and earn them back over time through everyday spending — unlocking dream trips today rather than someday. It's the biggest structural rethink of loyalty since frequent flyer programs partnered with credit cards.
