About Gotong

Gotong is a Southeast Asia-first services execution platform that enables trust-anchored transactions between buyers and service providers.

We started with tuition and enrichment in Singapore because parents deserve a reliable, transparent way to find and hire vetted tutors — and tutors deserve a platform that pays them fairly and on time.

Every transaction on Gotong is protected by escrow. Funds are held by Stripe Connect (SG marketplace) until buyers approve the work — so providers get paid for work done and buyers are protected from no-shows.

Gotong is named after the Malay principle of gotong royong — communal cooperation. We believe the best marketplaces are ones where both sides prosper.

Our Mission

To make high-quality services accessible and trustworthy across Southeast Asia — starting with education in Singapore.

Phase 1 — Singapore Tuition

Our initial focus is connecting Singapore parents with verified tutors and enrichment providers. All providers are identity-verified and, where applicable, MOE-registration checked. Payments are processed via Stripe Payments (SG rails) with support for card, PayNow, and GrabPay.
