It really amazes me when I hear of students who manage their own startup companies while juggling school work. It really takes time management and sorting of priorities to reach that level.
Monday's lecture was yet another eye-opener for me. NUS enterprise gives a lot of monetary and advisory help to budding entrepreneurs! The startup scene in Singapore is really happening. My sister who graduated from SMU is also part of a young startup SageBy (go check it out!).
I also found the talk by Pieter Kemps from AWS very useful. I have a better understanding of cloud, and I really am grateful to be in this era where cloud has given so much benefits to everyone on the street. ^^
Pieter also talked about how to make a successful pitch. I believe that he is really the right person to give this talk because he has been exposed to so many pitches and would know what works and what doesn't.
I particularly found the 10, 20, 30 rule very sticky! I can remember it clearly. 10 slides, 20 minutes, 30 font-size words. Perhaps minus the 30 font-size, this rule would be awesome for school! (: Providing plenty of visual aids help the audience to synchronise well with a guided idea, and still allow for some imagination. Not to mention that it is also aesthetically pleasing and attention grabbing.
This article Why Eyeballs No Longer Matter for Startups hammers in something that was raised during the presentation. It is that successful monetizing is crucial and having many visitors is not a strong enough reason for VCs to be impressed. - pause to visit the CORS website to check out biz modules offered in NUS -
So far, I'm really putting in my best for every module that I'm taking this semester. I have never felt so stressed, pressurized, busy, uncertain, unkempt and messy in my entire life. Perhaps I am now growing up.
No turning back
