About Entrepreneur 27 Singapore

Entrepreneur27 Singapore is the sister organization of the original Entrepreneur27 group founded by Noah Kagan in Silicon Valley/ San Francisco Bay Area.

The “27″ in Entrepreneur27 (E27) really means “<27″. It reflects our beliefs in youth and entrepreneurship and a hope for a new generation of innovators and thinkers who grew up with ubiquitous internet and mobile infrastructures.

I currently cover updates in the tech sector in the Scandinavian region for Entrepreneur 27 Singapore.
