Ownership disclosure

Who operates this site

vccguide.sg is operated by JCP, a fund manager licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). JCP funds and maintains the site as a discreet advertiser and referral partner — not as a marketing channel for its own services.

What that means in practice

• Editorial body text contains zero JCP mentions. JCP appears only in clearly disclosed call-to-action blocks, the Service Provider Directory, and this About section.
• In the Service Provider Directory, JCP is listed alongside competing licensed managers with identical formatting. There are no paid badges, featured rankings, or preferential ordering.
• The cost calculator routes interested users to a quote process that explicitly offers paths to multiple licensed managers, not only JCP.
• When a JCP staff member authors content, their byline credentials are stated openly (license type, role, jurisdictional registrations).

Commercial relationships

JCP may receive compensation when a reader contacts JCP through a disclosed call-to-action and ultimately engages JCP for fund management or related services. JCP does not receive compensation for traffic referred to other directory members.

Why disclose openly

Singapore's VCC market is small and well-informed. Pretending to be neutral when an MAS-licensed manager underwrites the work would be obvious and corrosive. The model here follows the pattern set by independent consumer-reference sites like Wirecutter and NerdWallet: editorial integrity is the asset; commercial relationships are disclosed in service of that integrity.
