For 11 years, we’ve helped bold ideas break through walls-connecting scrappy beginnings to billion-dollar outcomes.

Still on campus? Start now.
Our Student Entrepreneurship Community (SEC) is where future founders cut their teeth. Built in partnership with NUS’s top entrepreneurship clubs, SEC gives students the front-row seat to startup life—from hackathons to founder firesides. Many SEC grads? They’re now building the next wave of startups at BLOCK71.

What Founders Say About BLOCK71

Real stories. No fluff. Just raw momentum from those in the trenches with us.

“The mentorship from NUS, BLOCK71 and Microsoft has been invaluable. We’ve been able to tap into the AI expertise which gives us the extra edge in moving forward quickly. BLOCK71 provides networking with VCs, angel investors, startups and many potential business partners to collaborate with.”

Dr Nelson Lau

Founder of HealthBridge AI

 

“Energy in BLOCK71 felt GREAT! It feels really amazing to know that we’re with peers building AI products in the same field and talking about the same technology. BLOCK71’s network gives me the ability to connect with founders and other potential business partners. Before attending the Gen-AI Accelerator programme, I had an initial idea but after seeing the AI solution diagrams, it made me want to go after it which made our goals more possible.”

Adrian Yasin

Founder of LedgerOwl

 

“It’s a no-brainer for me to join the Gen-AI programme and leverage the network of BLOCK71. I’ve been working at BLOCK71 for the past 8 years. I can only say good things because of the network that they have, not only in Singapore but now with 10 different locations around the world. That’s really powerful!”

Tiago Alves

CEO of The Librarian
