SquareX is a startup in Singapore that was founded last year and is showing massive signs of promise. Its value proposition is simple, it offers you a hassle-free and easy to download browser extension that helps to protect you from malicious content on the internet. One of the key differences is whilst most similar products block the files and content entirely, with SquareX you can open and analyse these files without having to worry about contaminating your network.

SquareX had clearly identified that it required external capital in order to realise its go-to-market strategy and continuously research and develop the browser extension and associated service. As a result of this, it took part in a Seed Round in May 2023, when it raised $6 Million. This round was led by Sequoia Capital SEA.
