Founder
Currentupcie was launched in August 2024 as a pay-it-forward project. It is a free online match-making platform that serves to link registered Singaporean startups and SMEs with international and local business mentors. The project was started to help level the playing field for registered Singaporean SMEs to get critical business advice and consultations from business professionals, regardless of the SMEs' industry or number of years in business. upcie does not charge SMEs any fee for its matchmaking services; business professionals who sign up to join upcie as mentors do so on a pro bono basis. Through this, these mentors seek to pay-it-forward by donating their time to help build up the next generation of business leaders and companies.
