@heytheodora: My first time at the MONEY FM 89.3 studio today! 🎙️ Thank you Ryan for the conversation this morning, and to Emaad for having me on to share more about building the next generation of founders. We spoke about the Singapore Valley Awards, a platform designed to develop young Singaporeans into globally-minded, execution-driven founders through sponsoring internships to fast-growing tech companies in China. In this year’s edition, SVA challenges students to think about how to bridge the gap between strong technical foundations, and real market execution at speed and scale. In a world where #AI lowers the barrier to building, what differentiates founders will be depth of insight, speed of execution, and the ability to navigate real markets. SVA is one way we can start earlier, giving aspiring founders not just inspiration, but real in-market experience. Tembusu Partners is a founding partner to SVA. I was glad to share more about the mission on air. Tune in to the episode on Spotify 🙂 #SingaporeValleyAwards #DeepTech #Startup
