Yes, SG Entrepreneurs has just set up a group in Facebook. If you are a local entrepreneur and wants to join our community, please feel free to pop by our facebook group and you will be notified of new events which we might be thinking of organizing. The group is open to everyone and we welcome those who are aspiring entrepreneurs to join us in the group. We have a screenshot and the URL of our facebook group. [ Read More ]

Our blog, SG Entrepreneurs, have just turned 2 years old after 9 July 2005. First and above all, we thank our readers, our friends, our partners (NUS Overseas Colleges, Entrepreneur27, The Digital Movement and Start-Up@Singapore), our resident contributors and many others for their support and help over the years. Without them, we do not think that we have managed to go that far. In this second state of our blog, we want to talk about some of the highlights which have happened in the past year. [ Read More ]

Some of you might be following our incubation and seed funding initiative for Interactive Digital Media (IDM) startups, and might also have noticed that the page with the overview of this initiative has been taken down. But we assure you that this does not mean that it has been called off. Rather, we have decided not to publicize an as-of-yet, finalized initiative. In the meanwhile, if you have an innovative and disruptive technology or IDM service, please do drop us an email. (IDM might include “web 2.0″, technological gadgets, etc..)

So, we have a new entrant onto the Singapore entrepreneurship blogosphere, and (s)he/they have made quite a splash already! Refreshingly honest, her/his/their (for simplicity’s sake, let’s neutralize its gender and from now onwards, we’ll term it, it) opinions give us a less-than-positive view of things happening in the entrepreneurship scene in Singapore.

How do I set up a business in Singapore? Where do I find AJAX programmers for web 2.0 startups? What is the procedure of filing corporate tax returns? What are the conditions and contacts required for outsourcing? How do I set up a WFOE in China? SG Entrepreneurs provides a solution to your problems by launching a new discussion forum for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, educators and policy makers to discuss relevant issues.

Now, who will be the first to post?

Moving into the year of the pig, SG Entrepreneurs wishes all our readers a happy chinese new year. We thank our readers and partners for their continual support and encouragement and we wish that the local enterprises and businesses will grow stronger at the beginning of a booming economy in Singapore.

SG Entrepreneurs will play the role of a virtual business incubator, establishing Singapore at the forefront of the interactive and digital media (IDM) revolution worldwide, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. We will help young entrepreneurs turn their ideas and prototypes into seed funding stage startups. By having an experienced team screen proposals and identify promising IDM ideas and prototypes, and thereafter providing mentorship to translate these ideas and prototypes into reality, SG Entrepreneurs aims to nurture the future of new media.

For your support and encouragement, the founders and the resident contributors thank all of you for a wonderful year of 2006. It is often at such times, we sit down and contemplate what we have done over the year and plan what is ahead. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and hope that the coming year will bring good fortune and health to all.

So SG Entrepreneurs had our 3rd pub gathering and a total of 14 people turned up.
