Back to Main

It's our 2nd NUSEA Mixer and this time, we have linked to NUS students in Singapore and Bio Valley in Philadephia via web conferencing. It was spectacular to see them in real-time and they were able to ask questions to our speakers here too. We had 2 rather well-known speakers, Guy Kawasaki of Garage Technology Ventures and Kamran Elahain of Global Catalyst Partners to talk about entrepreneurship that is build to last.

We had more guests this year, probably we have our 3rd batch of students and their company colleagues here, and we also invited some of our Stanford classmates along too. The event was a great sucess and many people were impressed, especially with the web conference setup. As quoted from Kae Fong, our NUSEA President, 'a thousand things could have gone wrong, but I didn't see any...'
