Singapore shows no signs of slowing down, and thus the startup market has been bigger than ever in recent years.

Here at Vulcan Post, we often cover new and upcoming startups, but with so many to choose from, it’s hard to just pick the best ones, but hopefully we managed to pick some pretty intriguing ones here:

1. Carbonate

To ensure that your company runs smoothly, there are always procedures – from scheduling, leave management, payroll and even ensuring your employees remain happy.

Carbonate is an easy to use software that reduces the workload that is required to schedule your employees work hours, process employees leave applications, manage their payroll and provide them benefits that would keep them happy at your organisation. It’s a massive time saving option for all SME’s as it organises schedules and allows companies to get better attendance records with all their employee availability information online.

“We believe that for all companies, especially SME’s, the company is only as strong as the bond between the staff within them. Hence, we have built our product to ensure both the employees and the company can benefit from their HR software”, says their co-founder Murtuza Topiwalla.

2. Cafebond

When you think of coffee, the first thing that comes to mind would probably be Starbucks. However, the duo behind this startup plans to change that with their e-commerce site Cafebond.com, which brings the specialty coffee beans of Melbourne’s renowned cafes to the doorsteps of connoisseurs in Singapore.

“As the coffee scene here matures, and with the convenience and accessibility that we offer, there may be new customers who switch from just cafe- hopping to buying beans for home use” says creator Keyis Ng. The web and mobile platform is aimed to connect coffee lovers with the best coffee brands in the world, allowing for a chance to taste and buy unique coffee beans in one easy check-out process.

 3. UgotCrush

The age old question: “Should I tell them?” is possibly one of the most anxiety ridden questions that can be asked in our social lives. UgotCrush basically does what all of your friends fail to do when they tell your crush that you like them – it keeps you anonymous. The app not only lets you confess to your crush anonymously but also helps you find out who your secrets admirers are within your existing social circle.

Almost like blind dating, the anonymous matching and chat functions allows you to find out your compatibility with each other without the risk of real life rejection.

4. Freeboh Innovations
