Secretlab was founded as a startup company in December 2014[6] by former professional esports players Ian Alexander Ang and Alaric Choo,[7] both of whom specialised in StarCraft II.

[16] The company operates its corporate headquarters, a research and development facility, and an esports gaming arena along Braddell Road, Singapore.

[17] The company has partnered multiple times with organisers of official esports tournaments, where the partnership involves Secretlab providing chairs for the players.

[19] In August 2019, Heliconia Capital Management, a subsidiary of the Singaporean wealth fund Temasek Holdings, bought a minority stake in the company, causing its market capitalisation to reach a reported S$200–300 million.
