Today we read of
McAfee's acquisition of tenCube - a Singapore startup which had its beginnings at NUS. tenCube's proposition lies in its ability to wipe out all data on the handphone should one lose his phone. Losing a phone is a painful exercise to the pocket book especially if we change and upgrade handphones regularly outside our phone plans; but losing our data - pictures, videos, sms, even passwords... is another thing altogether... we feel invaded even though we were probably the ones to blame for being careless of our phones.
That tenCube is chosen from among the world of mobile security providers to be an acquisition target sits well with entrepreneurs from Singapore - afterall, how often do we read of Singapore companies - much less startups being acquired by such giants?
To the team at tenCube - it's great that they have stuck with each other for the last few years, the long hours put into their dreams. With one experience of being acquired under their belt, I believe the team will continue their entrepreneurial journey again... Congratulations!!!
