Angel's Gate, Asia's first reality TV series on business and entrepreneurship is a good example of a three-sixty programme that interacts with audiences on multiple platforms. This MDA-supported programme, co-produced by Interactive SG and regional broadcaster, Channel NewsAsia, enables viewers to simultaneously watch videos, participate in online crowd source funding activities and connect with a network of entrepreneurs while on the move.
- Ms Grace Fu, Senior Minister of State for Information, Communications and the Arts & Environment and Water Resources at the opening of the Asia Television Forum 2011
Audi is all about being progressive. This means bringing out cars ahead of others and setting innovative trends that become tomorrow's industry standards. Angel's Gate is thus something that we identify with as the programme mirrors the same progressive spirit. We delight in spotting bright new ideas and talents ahead of anyone else and nurturing them towards greater heights.

Canon is proud to be part of Asia's latest 360-degree trans-media platform series by collaborating with Angel's Gate. A good part of the series was shot using the Canon 5D Mark II, which is renowned for its professional video quality in Hollywood and on the silver screen. As a long-time advocate of the value of entrepreneurship, in alignment with our ongoing programmes such as the Think Big Entrepreneur Convention and Young Entrepreneur Award, we believed that Angel's Gate will give local entrepreneurs a chance to fulfill their ambitions.

I am very excited to be part of Angel's Gate. It's about time that the region had a comprehensive multimedia product promoting young entrepreneurs and their ideas. For far too long Asean has been behind globally in supporting starts up from both a financial and mind set perspective. For too long we've lived in an environment where people didn't want to back new ventures and it was even considered a step down to leave a good job in an MNC or GLC to do your own thing.
As an independent entrepreneur that started with nothing and in 10 years has now founded and floated 2 companies on the stock market, I truly wish a show like this existed at the start of my journey. It would have made A LOT of difference. I had no mentors and no advice. I'm looking for contestants that are smart, articulate, can see around corners and are HUNGRY for success. The journey is going to be tough, even with money and even with mentors, and the right hunger and mental attitude will make all the difference between success and failure.
- Patrick Grove, Group CEO, Catcha Group
Angel's Gate will serve as an important addition to the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Angel's Gate is an exciting platform and a tremendous opportunity for startups to participate and pitch their ideas on a global scale. With the kind of media exposure involved globally where the world is watching your ideas and talent; it serves as an ideal platform to shout to the world of your arrival.
Angel's Gate will change the media perception in Singapore dynamically. Traditionally, where business pitches were restricted behind closed doors where only a handful of people used to actually see the pitch, Angel's Gate provides the participants to be exposed to the whole world who can judge their pitch.

Entrepreneurship is the driving force in any free economy - and I salute Interactive.SG and its sponsors and supporters for creating this innovative platform.
I believe in freedom of information on all levels and this TV series will expose encounters between entrepreneurs and investors which normally happen behind closed doors. I believe in the educational effect this will have on future business creators.
- William Klippgen, Managing Director, Tigris Capital
Angel's Gate is extremely exciting as it allows companies to not just sell to the judges, but to thousands of viewers. You never know who could be watching - A potential partner, acquirer, employee or investor. The contestants need to demonstrate their competitive advantage and the quality of their teams. We want to showcase role models that will inspire people to consider entrepreneurship as a potential career option. I am confident that the program will appeal to the audience, and lead to the building of an entrepreneurial ecosystem to take us into the next leap forward.
