Cinch

Cinch is fixing how businesses access technology. Instead of dropping massive capex on laptops and devices, companies subscribe to them through Cinch's Device-as-a-Service platform. You get the latest gear without loans, lock-ins, or the headache of disposal. Cinch handles the entire lifecycle—setup, maintenance, recycling—so your IT team actually focuses on business instead of device management. They work with major brands like Apple, Dell, Samsung, and Lenovo.

The team is 50+ people spread across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, and the UAE. Based in Singapore and backed by global investors, they're taking on a $700 billion industry with a subscription model that makes both financial and environmental sense. No corporate nonsense here—their culture emphasizes ownership, autonomy (unlimited annual leave, hybrid/remote options), and actual learning opportunities.

For remote workers and distributed teams in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, this matters. Growing startups and scaled companies across APAC already use Cinch to keep teams equipped without the capital burden. The company operates country-specific services (Cinch Malaysia, Cinch Singapore) so local support is real, not an afterthought.
