Airwallex has relaunched its startup program with new features supporting financial management, mentorship, and AI-driven innovation.
The refreshed ‘Airwallex for Startups’ program launches in Singapore and will expand to other markets in the coming months.
The relaunch comes as many founders struggle to build financial resilience.
Globally, 90% of startups fail, and 38% stall because they run out of cash. Airwallex aims to help founders turn financial operations into a driver of growth rather than a back-office function.
The program combines Airwallex’s financial infrastructure with guidance from experienced CFOs and an AI sandbox for innovation.
It is designed to help startups strengthen their financial foundations and scale sustainably.
Participants gain access to Airwallex’s suite of financial tools and perks that grow with each funding stage, from pre-seed to Series A and beyond.
Founders will also receive mentorship from members of the Startup CFO Expert Panel, who have guided technology companies through rapid expansion and downturns.
The program officially launched with the Startup CFO Summit in Singapore, which brought together over 100 founders, 20 CFOs, and investors for workshops on financial management and fundraising.
The AI Sandbox gives selected startups a chance to test real-world solutions with Airwallex teams.
The most promising may progress to design-partner collaborations and early customer validation.
The first cohort will focus on growth and productivity use cases.
Airwallex has also partnered with OpenAI, Google Cloud, and HubSpot to equip startups with tools for AI development, cloud infrastructure, and growth.
“The best ideas don’t just need funding; they need the right financial foundations to scale. Feedback from our community has sharpened our focus.
We’re now aligning our expertise and experience to deliver what founders value most from Airwallex: access to the tools, knowledge, and networks that turn financial operations into a growth advantage.”
said Lucy Liu, Co-founder and President, Airwallex.
