…Yes there were technical glitches but they were bearable at Start-Up@Singapore Emerging Industry on WEB 2.0.
I felt the notion of entrepreneurship was succinctly discussed and it made my day!
I especially like Kevin’s point on monetization or should i say Demonetization. I felt he hit the nail on the head. Entrepreneurship is not about monetization per se. It only a small part of the equation. It encompass more on value creation and making the world a better place to live in. So ideas should bounce off how we can help people and improve lives, not $$$. $$ will naturally trickle in from the top tier. They would be the one that would sustain that product or service in the long run.
Thank you Van for bringing down your “Thinking Cap” and contribute in this wonderful discussion. We should meet up for coffee when Kevin comes back.
Lets work TOWARDS A MORE ALTRUSIVE SOCIETY.
An idealist musing? Over to you Stuart
