Mentor for hope

Mid 2019, we organised a charity fundraising and startup mentoring campaign that raised $43,000 for Beyond Social Services and Willing Hearts Soup Kitchen to support individuals and families in Singapore affected by COVID-19. Over 250 startup founders benefited from the 520 mentoring hours provided by 250 venture capitalists, family offices, angel investors and corporate professionals across Asia.
