Event Details

Update: Josh Elman (Greylock Partners) will be unable to join us for the evening.

In this miniconference, organized in conjunction with Global Entrepreneurship Week, we will look at how the seed funding landscape has evolved over the last two years, with the entrance of super angels, AngelList as well as incubators and accelerators backed by venture funds. We will examine the differences and benefits of these various sources of early stage funding and what entrepreneurs should consider when making their decision.

We will also discuss what kind of term sheets work best at such an early stage, and when young companies should raise money in their product life cycle. We will review some of the more common mistakes that entrepreneurs make when fund-raising and how to avoid them.

Frank Chen (Andreessen Horowtiz), Sharon Vosmek (Astia), Manu Kumar (K9 Ventures) and Pascal Finette (WebFWD Mozilla) will be sharing with us live from Silicon Valley, while we'll also have a local panel featuring James Chan (Neoteny Labs), Michael Zhan (SmartSpace), Hian Goh (Asian Food Channel) and Wenhan Zhou (2359 Media) moderated by Audrey Tan (PlayMoolah). Join us to find out how you can take your company to product/market fit and beyond!

About
Rainmakers is series of miniconferences focusing on entrepreneurial education. Each event is centered around a technological theme on which relevant startup founders and professionals from the industry are invited to share their experiences.

The first mini-conference was on Emerging Trends in Mobile, held in April, and the second one was on Importance of UI/UX Design, held in June. We had Evan Doll (Flipboard), Bhaskar Roy (Qik), Bowei Gai (CardMunch), Alvin Tse (TixxMe), Joe Beninato (Tello), Kevin Fox (Mozilla), Luke Wroblewski (Bagcheck), Jason Putorti (Votizen), Garry Tan (Y Combinator) and Jessica Mah (inDinero) on our panels. We also have had over 300 attendees at our miniconferences so far. More information can be found on http://rainmakers.co

The series is run by a team of aspiring entrepreneurs. We're building a global network of entrepreneurs, and Rainmakers is our first step. We are also proud to be a part Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) in Singapore, find out more at http://www.unleashingideas.org/country/sg


On a separate note, we will be using Pigeonhole Live for this event to facilitate Questions & Answers. As such, you will be able to post questions to our speakers while also voting for questions that your peers have asked on Pigeonhole Live in real-time. Questions with higher votes will stand a higher chance to be addresse­­d by the speakers.

Pigeonhole Live is very easy to use and can be accessed on most web-enabled devices. Just go launch your web browsers on the following devices:

  • Smartphones – iPhone, Android, Blackberry 5/6, Windows Phone 7, Palm WebOS and Opera Mobile browser (Symbian and Windows Mobile 6).
  • Tablets (iPad, Android-based)
  • Laptops
  • iPod Touch

So, good news for you! No more waiting for the mic-hogging individual during the precious Q&A session! Speakers will be able to address your queries more relevantly and everyone gets to take part in the Q&A session without running to the microphones. Yes, even if you are a little shy.

Here’s a short 2min video on how Pigeonhole Live works: http://bit.ly/opDKWs
