How did you get involved with TEDxSingapore?
As a venture capitalist, I have always been interested in bringing a diverse group of people from different disciplines together. It’s pretty much a natural progression for me because I have always been curious with both thinkers and doers.

What's the essence of the group here?
It's a network of passionate young people who have loads of ideas and work towards turning them into reality.

What can you tell us about the upcoming Stuff of Life event?
It might just seem like a director’s cut of talks from the upcoming Ted Worldwide Conference in Edinburgh but it is much more than that because like-minded individuals from different fields come together as a community when we meet. It is certainly more fun than watching it alone in front of your computer. Besides, this event is like an exclusive, because these talks won’t go online anytime soon.

Does it still excite you?
I expect to be surprised because you never know what you are gonna get. There have been numerous occasions where I have been interested in subjects that I have been absolutely clueless about.

Join the TEDxSingapore team at The Stuff of Life from July 14-16. Group Therapy Café, 49 Duxton Rd.,9173-4590. For an updated schedule, log onto www.tedxsingapore.sg.
