About the Event

In partnership with SUTD, we’ve decided to roll out one of the five roles EAT Launchpad works with. STUDENTS, are the role we’re featuring, and the team we’ve been working so hard to make the world a better place. What does it mean for them to step out of the institutions and face the grind of the startup life?

We all know Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of their studies to pursue entrepreneurship. These days however, there is no need to dropout of school. In fact, students in Singapore receive a lot of support from their academic institutions to become startup founders, and we can’t wait to showcase 6 of these teams to the community.

Join us for an evening of sharing and discovery as Gustavo Liu from EAT Launchpad shares what it takes to transition from school to startup life. Together with SUTD, we bring the startup teams to showcase their progress so far.

So join us, as we’d love to share with you more about how you can transition into the entrepreneurship career, and what are the supports you can receive as an alumni of your institution.
