Oh, and do click on the posters we have created this time for the event. SOmething for all of us to get into “Major-conference” mode for next week when IMF and World Bank delegates descend upon our lil’ island nation. They might get chauffeured BMWs, we have our BMXs.

Darius Cheung, NOC SV alumni of the 3rd batch, has came in 1st among equals in the latest 7th edition of the Startup@Singapore business plan competition.

Congrats to him and his founding team of Varun (also of SV 3rd batch), Indradeep and Rishi!

Darius had also demo-ed his company service at the last version of Entrepreneur27 Singapore meetup, which is an event series intended to provide a community platform to showcase enterprising startups by young entrepreneurs under 27 to like-minded under-27ers. Entrepreneur27 is a Silicon Valley based organization started by Noah Kagan, a product manager of Facebook.com and his team of passionate, driven entrepreneurs. E27 Singapore will be holding our next meetup (for details, click here) on June 21 to coincide with the SMU iX Conference where Google's Marissa Mayer (Vice President of Search Products and User Experience) will also be making her first speech in Singapore.

Do you have a new company that’s going to be the next big thing on the Internet? Would you like to demo your company to a passionate audience in Singapore and gain exposure in Silicon Valley?

If you’ve got at least one key member of your team under 27 years of age, Entrepreneur 27 in Singapore is the premium platform for you to get the word out about your business!
