Tinyplaces started in year 2000 as the holding arm of a startup cafe brand and its food and beverages business in Singapore. It owns the brand T-BAR which is a registered trademark and maintains all intellectual properties related to T-BAR's food and beverages operations and business.

Realising and solidifying its purpose and calling in education, Tinyplaces' business portfolio quickly extended into the areas of education, training and development as well as education-related services. It has since consistently provided tertiary education institutions with quality innovative educational development programs in educator training (pedagogical and e-learning) as well as student development programs in internship and overseas business field-trips.

Tinyplaces transformed its business model in 2003 into that of an investment firm with which it continues to start up purposeful startups and fund new meaning-making ventures.

Tinyplaces is itself privately funded. It current portfolio consists of businesses in Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong.

Each Tinyplaces presence is headed by a Managing Director while the group is led by a Chief Executive Officer.
