Playing with Technology :

Visited NUS's Bio-Robotics Lab on Monday with some of my latest Cohort 6, MSc Venture Creation students to understand the invention/IP that they are working on.

Everyone had hands-on experience yesterday & discussion on price, competition & traction.

Today, used the pic of me to generate the latest "Chat GPT's caricature" craze.

Fortunately it shows it's limitation of what it has access, apart from a construction related project that I was involved in 2 years back that was not well scrubbed, or it took a wild guess with my CAT logo. None of the recent work nature that I used was identified, apart from doing projections & modelling.

Among my many diverse interests & hobbies including golf, I don't fish. It must have inferred from my quick dry "fishing". Nice try! 😊

Between the Spark and the Scale.

Visited the National University of Singapore's i³ Innovation Hub this week- my first since it closed for renovation 2 years back. These spaces are fantastic for sparking what's next in deep tech & venture building.

It reminded me of a core truth I saw firsthand during my corporate days growing sales, and now while working with founders & the market : the most critical gap isn't funding or ideas—it's the "disciplined bridge" from proven innovation to commercial reality.

I was reading the latest "Sparks" magazine from NUS Enterprise recently which featured a deep-tech startup's journey from clinical trials to commercial deployment & saw something familiar - It was a gratifying moment to see my work with Healthcare & Technology professionals cm Professors, helping the team to Commercialise their Deep-tech invention mentioned in that context - to translate ideas, technology & rigorous research into a tangible market pathway in NUS's GRIP (Graduate Research & Innovation Program) just before it became the National GRIP this year.

The translation phase is where true venture building happens. It's less about the idea and more about the architecture: the strategy, the partnerships, operational grit & commercial awareness to build a company around validated potential.

For those building the next wave of ventures, whether from deep research or transforming an old exisiting business, this bridge is everything. It's the phase I find most meaningful.

Just wrapped up mentoring & marking the last of 10 assignments for the final module of the Master of Science, Venture Creation program at NUS—what a journey!

Beyond business plans & pitch decks, the real highlight was the friendships formed with this talented cohort, many from China with Western 1st degrees & quite a few matured Singaporeans post grads in their 40s.

Over the past 5 months, they navigated a full venture-building journey: validating ideas, applying Design Thinking, building MVPs, crafting financial models, refining strategies, and pitching for funding. Also guided some teams to apply what they learned in class about Blue Ocean Strategy to find new market spaces in the crowded market place.

Proud of their growth — can't wait to see them shine at this week's dry run before their final pitch to VCs!

Photos with backdrops was from the previous week's VC Networking Lunch, which typically marks the tail end of their MSc, Venture Creation program ! 🚀

🌟 Reflections on Singapore FinTech Festival 2024 🌟

What an incredible last week at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2024! Held at Marina Bay Sands & Singapore Expo, it was an exciting convergence of fintech and innovation.

A special thanks to UOB for securing "By Invite Only passes" for the Insights Forum—though my schedule only allowed me to attend UOB's GTA event, with opening address by the Chief Fintech Officer, MAS (Monetary Authority of S'pore). I am also grateful for their thoughtful and personalized token of appreciation for each mentor!

🤝 Networking Highlights
It was fantastic meeting the teams & VCs from Thailand and Malaysia in persons and catching up with my talented mentees & fellow mentors from Singapore. The conversations were energizing and thought-provoking.

🔮 Looking Ahead: Fintech, Crypto & Market Trends
Exciting times ahead! With Crypto & Bitcoin surging with Trump’s re-election and the S&P 500 now crossed 6000, I’m curious: what’s next for global markets?

How high do you think the market will go before a correction, loss of confidence, or profit-taking sets in? 🤔

How to create an impactful Go-To-Market strategy and importantly, how to analyse your competition/s and come up with strategies to establish a beachhead & take market share!

Privileged to have been invited to lecture & conduct workshops on these 2 important topics and to conclude Singapore Polytechnic's Entrepreneur Bootcamp 2023; comprising 70 tertiary students nominated by their departments across different disciplines to start potential ventures.

Taught 6 Practical frameworks on analyzing competition that I use for my clients & mentees depending on their size and maturity, which includes Harvard Prof Michael Porter's 5 forces, Boston Consulting Group's Growth-Share Matrix, Biz Model Canvas, PESTEL, SWOT & the Perceptual Mapping frameworks, with hands-on practice by the learners.

Also shared 6-Essential steps on how to develop an impactful Go-to-Market Strategy based on adopted concepts that I had learned a decade back directly from Garage Venture's founder Bill Reichert, & his co-founder, Guy Kawasaki's book "Art of Start". Most of all, shared some real lessons of "what to" and "what not to do", after seeing various businesses succeed or fail and judging or evaluating various new or matured business models since my days as a start-up founder that secured a US$1 Mil first order & cash-flow+ within my 1st year.

Looking forward to working with more interesting new or matured ventures and a more exciting 2024!

Had the fortune of visiting Btye Dance Asia HQ this Nov 2023 to know them better.

Despite previous visit to Chinese Giants like Baidu, Tencents, JD.Com etc, was still surprised that Bytedance(TikTok) is a US$85 Bil business with an operating profit of $20 Bil (open sources info) !

Had insights about ByteDance Management's philosophy & tool, Lark that enable her 150K employees to communicate & move rapidly like a start-up despite her size - Dispensing away with emails & focusing on the mobile phone as a work tool

Canon & CNA's "Think Big Leadership" 2023 - Attended this event since 2016 and my outlook has always broadened by the various KOLs on this platform.

This year opening was by MOS/Minister of Trade & Industry, Ms Low Yen Ling.
Instead of Macro landscape then on Micro, Day 1 was specifically about AI - the threats & opportunities for businesses.

Day 2 was on Geopolitics specifically about US & China, how they will impact us & Asean in 2024 in terms of opportunities & risks.

Had literally front row seat & Food for thoughts going into 2024!
