I’m featured in the Business Times. What an interesting day for me. I love the way the reporter wrote about my company, my team and I. Yup, Southeast Asian Bill Gates. That’s what they wrote about me.

I’ve always wonder how do people like Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Steve Jobs build their empire. Mathematically, it is impossible to earn that much of money given a constant high paying job throughout one person’s entire lifetime. Finally, when I entered National University of Singapore, I get to learn about entrepreneurship from their courses, cca and peers. It’s been an interesting path I took in my life. I made a lot of sacrifices to satisfy my hunger.

I would say, it’s worth the time and effort. I’m on my way to my dreams now. Starting my own business, doing what I’m passionate about, sharing my experiences, facing new challenges everyday and working with a fun group of people towards a common goal. All these are priceless.

Just an advice, if you are sick and tired of your 9am to 5pm job, it’s time to take a peek at starting your own business. No words can described the experience and the satisfaction you’ll get out of it.

Congratulation to the Exoro Team for organising the first-ever National Youth Entrepreneurship Conference in Singapore! It’s been my pleasure working with my teammates, Alvin, Wu Di, Jinyang, Zhang Dan, Hirman and Nat for putting up this wonderful conference for a good cause of promoting entrepreneurship among the youth.

In addition, almost every Government Ministry has set aside funds for startups to grab. We are currently in a situation that, “Too much money around, but too little good ideas to invest in”.

Why the Singapore Government is becoming a “VC” themselves? Continue reading »

It’s been closed to 15 days since I last wrote a post. I was very busy with my new-found company, Exoro Pte. Ltd. We just had an investor’s presentation last week. They love our company’s direction and idea. Let’s hope for the good news.

Besides that, we are doing a lot of preparation for our national competition ranging from seeking sponsorships, getting support from the government bodies, press coverage and inviting school team and panelist. Phew! A lot of work. Continue reading »
