When they are bouncing their grandchildren on their knees, SMU alumnus Alan Phua and his wife Verleen Goh can tell the story of the time they were married on a Saturday and winners of S$200,000 on a Wednesday. The newlyweds are behind Alchemy Foodtech, a diabetes company that has created an additive (called 5ibrePlus) that reduces the glucose levels in foods. The company emerged as the winner of SLINGSHOT @ SWITCH and will take home a S$200,000 grant from Enterprise Singapore along with a host of other prizes. Alchemy Foodtech beat about 1,000 applications and the 30 startups pitching in the competition.
