The Stanford Club of Singapore and the Financial Women’s Association (FWA) are delighted to invite you to the Entrpreneurship Forum at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 25 August.
FWA and the Stanford Club have brought together an outstanding panel of new and experienced entrepreneurs who have struck out on their own in fields ranging from retail and media to financial services and software.
Particularly at this time of economic uncertainty, more and more professionals are assessing their priorities and looking at setting up their own companies. Starting up something new seems daunting yet it can also offer tremendous opportunities. This panel session gives you a chance to hear how entrepreneurs decided to set up their own businesses, what worked well and what didn’t, and how they’re faring in today’s difficult times. Moderated by NUS Adjunct Professor Eric Tachibana, the panel features Jeremy Brest of financial services firm Framework Capital, Forrest Li from online gaming company Garena, Deborah Ng of clothing rental store Maternity Exchange, and Joel Lin from the media company Omnimedia that produced Contender Asia.
The range of experiences these participants bring will offer valuable insights that can help you make your own decision about whether and how to leverage your expertise and passion. More information about each of the panelists is on the following page. The panel discussion will be followed by a question-and-answer session, and you’ll be able to talk with the panelists as well as fellow participants over light refreshments before and after the event.
