๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ #Singapore in peak bustle on a Thursday!

HEX's TENTH Singapore cohort of founders took the stage and pitched their businesses yesterday evening. One of the memorable demos was EduKate, promoting STEM education for girls through dolls ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿผโ™€๏ธPleasant surprise to bump into Remi and Benedict who were the judges, and hella proud of Jaclyn Benstead and Shirley Pham who led this program and made it epic!

Worlds colliding ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ฅ when Jodie meets Mihaela meets HEX! The startup ecosystem welcomes everyone โ€“ innovators from all walks๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿšถ (for context: Jodie is an excellent UX researcher/designer and Mihaela is working on her phD in financial inclusion +ย 

I missed Accelerating Asia Ventures's demo day this week and the FOMO got to me ๐Ÿ˜ข but I'm truly glad that everyone passes through the Draper Startup House HQ whenever they're in town... (๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ hi Amra ๐Ÿฅฒ)

Paying for beer in Singapore with #India rupees ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ฐ I'm grateful for this fellow globetrotting buddy Ibrahim who recently passed through Hyderabad, and exchanging notes and insights on the city!

It's been an epic two weeks in Singapore; I'm happy to be home! ...If you think I'm taking off soon, you guessed right ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿ”œ NEXT STOP #HYDERABAD ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš€

ASK: Who should I meet / grab chai with? ๐Ÿ‘€
