I worked with an outstanding local startup called Coursepad, a mobile learning platform that help training organisations scale up their training capabilities with engaging social learning apps.

I produced and managed this event to bring together founders from across Asia to meet, discover and learn from each other. Between a series of meet-ups organised by various startup groups, these founders get together and share insights, stories, challenges and opportunities with one another. Over 100+ participants - both local and overseas - came for a series of workshops and pitch events during the 4-day event.

I managed the Technology Enterprise Commercialisation Scheme (TECS) which is a grant under Spring Singapore that focused on developing innovative technologies. TECS has two types of funding - POC ($250k) and POV ($500k). Two ICT startups had successfully received POC and POV grants respectively during my administration.I have also organised a 5-day training program to better equip local incubator managers. This was done in partnership with National Business Incubators Association from USA.

I played a key role in making this inaugural show which was one of the most successful events in Singapore in 2012.My responsibilities included event planning and execution, driving sales and sponsorships, inviting notable speakers like Jeff Clavier, one of the top 20 angel investors in Silicon Valley. Other speakers include top VCs and entrepreneurs from the region like Golden Gate Ventures, Neoteny Labs, etc.The event was also covered by top media firms like CNBC and the Singapore edition was well publicized across major media outlets worldwide through the IDG network.I also conducted 12 auditions to select promising startups and established strategic partnerships with key players in the startup communities across Asia to promote the show. In total, the 2-day show launched 71 tech companies from 15 nations worldwide, mostly from Asia. The event saw over 850 attendees.DEMO is a well-known brand owned by IDG and they collaborated with Venture Beat for all the shows until 2013.

My twin focus were commercializing university intellectual property and fostering research collaborations between academia and industry. The commercialization of NUS research led to successful licensing or spin-offs in the ICT and Engineering space. My portfolio changed in 2007 where I was involved in industry liaison work. I also had the privilege to work with a small but super talented team that organized the annual Technology Commercialization Forum (TCF) from 2008 to 2010. Key industry players from MNCs, IP firms, investors and entrepreneurs converged in this most established platform for technology transfer and licensing in Asia. My scope includes event planning and execution, driving sponsorship and ticket sales and coordinating speakers, exhibitors and presenters. We also collaborated with AUTM for this show. Representatives from successful tech transfer offices from Stanford University and MIT have attended this event that average over 300+ participants yearly since it started in 2007. TCF later evolved into InnovFest Unbound which regularly drew over 5,000 attendees.

I did partnerships and sales for an internet startup that specialized in personal online branding and worked closely with local celebrities to showcase their online profiles. I was also involved in media campaigns to launch the product into market.Those were the days when Facebook wasn't born yet.
