Growing up in a low-income household of frontline workers gave Daniel Thong the impetus to start a business that empowers them

Sometimes, life's mission comes calling in the most unexpected of places. Daniel Thong's aha moment happened during his university days in London when he was hunting for a home cleaning service. After finding one through an app, it made him wonder if he could develop his own version in Singapore. The end goal? To help uplift the lives of frontline workers.

Fast forward to 2024, and Thong is now the co-founder and CEO of Nimbus Facility Services. The online B2B and B2C property management platform allows enterprise owners and residential users to book cleaning and management services.

With a 200-strong workforce and a footprint that recently extended to Melbourne, Nimbus was recognised as one of the fastest-growing companies in Singapore by Statista and The Straits Times in January.
