Designer/Photographer
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
I'm really interested in businesses that work on a P2P/B2B model that connects buyers and sellers together in a common marketplace. Such business models are unique in the sense that they seem to create a new linkage between two different groups of people. And such businesses have interesting monetization models that go beyond the surface.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
Right now, I always constantly on the lookout for opportunities or gaps in the market. While doing so, I intend to take up several more internships to learn more about how small businesses work and how to scale rapidly. I will also be taking entrepreneurship related mods
Past Experiences
Entrepreneurship
I was with The Marketplace Ministry as sales outreach. The Marketplace Ministry is a graphic design social enterprise that empowers local designs to sell their own designs and crafts.
I did an internship with 99.co over summer. 99.co is a property portal in Singapore. I worked alongside the Marketing Head. During my stint, I was placed in charge of organising a soft-launch party as well as a product launch event. Besides the events, I am also responsible for creating and sending EDMs and in-app notifications blast to all of our 20000 property agents.
I also own a business with a partner as a means of supporting ourselves through university. NOWN (UEN: 53330040A) is a registered online-based reselling business. Most of the business operations including marketing, management. logistics branding, product photography, sourcing, are all completed in-house by the two co-founders.
