Simple as that. Missing element is people, not money. Singaporeans, although they are quality people, are very risk averse, a by product of social and educational system instilled by the leaders.

Are words of wisdom worth less because they come forth from the village fool? Or does the wise man fall from grace because of a moment's folly? Gray is our world, and gray we should be. Peace~ Yimin, oh Yimin,

You can check out the team page of SG Entrepreneurs for that information. I have done one successful startup in the UK and currently working on one. Weichang has done three and all are profitable without raising a single cent, if I am not wrong. Gwen is currently doing the business incubator startup formed from this blog. In our resident contributors team, Darius, Cobalt Paladin and Der Shing are full time entrepreneurs. Der Shing is a winner of the Spirit of Enterprise, and Darius is the winner of 7th Start-Up@Singapore. The rest of them have worked in startups either in Shanghai or Silicon Valley. Brian Ling, aka DT has done small design businesses like the IPoor T-shirt which is featured in Engadget (China). That might give an idea on how the whole team is like. Hi Yimin,

Just curious since it must be speaking from experience in order to run such a website otherwise it be just talking on papers. Not out to challenge but really curious since the nexus 2007, a few websites were highlighted and like to know who walk the talk and talk the walk.
