muvee moves office and its incubator program, BASE goes 2.0

10-year-old muvee is one of Singapore’s pride and joys in the technology space. Having invented automatic video editing back in 2000 back in a research and development lab, the company was spun off two years later by a bunch of musicians and photographers and today counts nearly 60 staff across Singapore, San Francisco, Tokyo and Seoul with its products having been bundled by camera, storage and PC partners that include HP, Seagate, Sony, Olympus, Nikon and Nokia.

Since 2007, muvee has also hosted other entrepreneurs at its office in Singapore under the BASE @ muvee program. BASE is at once an incubator and co-working space that gives BASE entrepreneurs access to muvee’s collective knowledge and experience across many different spheres. When muvee’s founder and CEO, Terence Swee is back in Singapore (where he lives half the time, with the other in San Francisco), you can also tap his brain.

“From cloud architecture and memory management on mobile chipsets to international taxation and labor laws in Korea, you will find someone who can give you advice or point you in the right direction.” – BASE @ muvee

Entrepreneurs who have been housed at BASE include Sonoport and chumby.

No, you will not be asked to run errands or make coffee for the muvee team. BASE @ muvee is founded on three principles:

(1) You do not work for us, and we do not work for you.
(2) muvee cannot invest in you.
(3) There will be no IP Sharing.

This November, BASE is going version 2.0.

muvee is moving to the startup and VC-office hub at Blk 71 Ayer Rajah Crescent and will be upgrading its BASE program to include additional activities:

– Knowledge Sharing Sessions: talks that range from technical subjects like configuration management, and memory management in embedded systems, to business issues like negotiation, setting up an office in the Bay Area, etc.

– Ad-Hoc Meet and Pitch: networking sessions with senior members of some of muvee’s global customer base that includes HTC and LG.

– Silicon Valley Safari: meet companies and people in the Bay Area, be introduced by muvee’s CEO himself! (“Only serious startups with highly-curated agendas and real products need apply.”)
