Prof Wong’s Blog
Professor Wong Poh Kam has started blogging on his blog. (If you are not familiar with Prof Wong, you can read his intro post here.)
Prof Wong has been very supportive of us young people. In many ways I really admire his far-sighted vision.
He helped to formulate the NOC program which has definitely changed my life along with hundreds of others. It gave me the opportunity to see beyond the usual career choice to choose the path of entrepreneurship with gumption.
I don’t look back nowadays and put in my 120% week-in-week out. It stretches me but not a day has passed with out its challenging moments yet it’s still so fun.
Also, Prof Wong saw how important it was to really engage young entrepreneurs and provided us with the support to begin the Garag3.
So it’s really nice to have Zack from SgStartups write about the energy at the Garag3. We didn’t pay him to write about it. It’s 100% authentic. Many in part due to the young founders at the Garag3 and also the interns working there. Over 50 people work full-time in the startups at the Garag3 this summer.
It’s an electrifying experience to be there. So fast-paced, so intellectually-challenging.
But back to Prof Wong. He’s joined the Blogosphere only now, but being the Prof, I’m pretty sure he’ll have some interesting stories to share!
If you’re looking for angel investments, engaging Prof Wong through his blog could be a very good way to begin conversations. I’m not sure how many other angel investors or VCs in this region blog but it seems like Prof Wong is one of few. Bernie still blogs fervently of course
