Company Profile

Our reporting is factually-accurate but composed in a light-hearted and relatable way that resonates well with younger Singaporean readers.
We are a relatively new site put together by two successful start-ups in Singapore. Every month, our content is seen by half a million readers, making us one of the fastest growing sites in Singapore history. We don't cover all news, but focus instead on covering the most interesting news.
We want to be a news site without any agenda, that reports news that Singaporeans can trust and relate to. We also hope to give those unspoken for a voice, and believe news and media play an important part in the lives of people. Thus, we believe it is important to report news fairly, accurately and in an easily digestible way.
