Founder & Director, On The Ground

Updated 6 June 2026

Overview

Building software as a Singapore founder has specific shape: SGD pricing, .sg or .com domains, local payment integrations, and a market that values reliability over novelty.

Stack choices that fit SG

• Vercel free tier is more than enough for most SG SMB sites. • Namecheap handles .com and most international TLDs; SGNIC for .sg. • Stripe Singapore for international payments; HitPay or Stripe SG for local PayNow.

What works in the SG market

Sites that load fast on mobile. Singaporeans are mobile-first; a site that takes 4 seconds to load loses the click. Pricing pages with SGD prices and clear GST notes (if applicable). About pages that signal you've actually shipped — case studies, named clients with permission.

What to avoid

Over-engineered design. SG founders win on substance, not visual fireworks. Generic stock photography. Most readers can tell.
