Prof Wong shared some quite basic information about the angel scene in Singapore which was quite good. I guess the event drew the right people who were in the proper stage of starting up... If you are interested, you can google for Business Angels Network South East Asia (http://bansea.angelgroups.net/). It was good to meet Yiyang, Jian Hong, Jia Ji, Laurence and Tomithy there too.
I managed to talk to some of the people from NEC who were involving in managing the portfolios. Pretty interesting bunch of people, I think I'm going to bug Daphne (life science) and Laurence (clean-tech) more.
I learnt from Daphne that people who wish to start startups involving medical devices should design first with both the market in mind and FDA's/CEMARK's regulations, or a lot of resources, time and effort would be wasted.
NEC is doing a great job under the pressures of a limited budget. Hope they improve even more and become the best in Asia.
