He then spent over 5 years in Edtech providing consultancy to schools and entrepreneurs building products that improve teaching and learning. This was Steven's first foray into innovation where boundaries are constantly pushed to create new experiences. The consulting experience developed his soft skills such as communications, leadership, analytical thinking etc. and infused an intellectual curiosity and entrepreneurial attitude.

The 5 plus years in Silicon Valley working with tech MNCs and startups and constant exposure to tech visionaries sharpened his business acumen, macro and micro thinking skills. He helped Singapore and American tech startups with cross border market expansion.

Steven returned from Silicon Valley to become a VC and made investments in 2 accelerators, 1 seed fund and 1 seed stage startup. He now employs his multi-faceted skills in scouting and investing in FinTech startups, advising entrepreneurs on their business strategy, product, business operations etc, and expanding Startupbootcamp in Asia.

In a nutshell, his passion for startups and innovation is coupled with a love for big-picture strategic planning and daily operational management.
