Expara IDM Ventures (EIDMV) is a leading provider of incubation and mentorship to early-stage interactive and digital media (IDM) companies in Singapore. EIDMV was one of the first private companies to be appointed as an incubator in the Interactive Digital Media Office (IDMPO)’s iJAM Microfunding Scheme supported by the National ResearchFoundation (NRF) in October 2007. Since then, we’ve invested S$5,000 on top of the S$50,000 disbursement from IDMPO into 16 start-ups. EIDMV’s iJAM I program has been highly successful, exceeding each of its KPIs and generating several of Singapore’s most exciting early-stage IDM companies.

The new management team which includes Douglas Abrams adds to the incubation experience and network which will strongly benefit these portfolio companies. EIDMV has close ties with two entities: Expara Pte Ltd, a venture creation company that develops and teaches entrepreneurship and innovation experiential-exercise-based learning programs for entrepreneurs, start-ups, companies and public institutions in Asia; and Extream Ventures Pte Ltd, an early-stage venture fund supported by NRF under the Early Stage Venture Funding Scheme.
