THE GAME PLAN:
3-4 entrepreneurs share their failures -- each speaker gets 6:40, for 10 images or 40 seconds each. You ask them questions: ask anything you’re curious about, that would add value to your night. Don’t hold back! The speaker will decide whether or not to answer.
You bring yourself. We bring the cool vibe, drinks, music, and kickass speakers. We unite at 7pm, break for mingling at 840pm, and reunite every other month.

Ricardo Sentosa
Ricardo is the founder and CEO of Venuerific, a web-based event venue marketplace. Started in 2013, Venuerific has over 800 listed spaces across Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Philippines, and helped thousands of corporate planners, organisers and individuals secure the perfect venues for small private events to large conferences.

An alumnus of University of Technology Sydney in Business Accounting and Finance, Ricardo was also involved in the launch of the inaugural Startup Leadership Program Singapore in 2014.
Kimble Ngo
Kimble founded Amplify Influence and is its lead performance trainer and business coach, delivering training seminars and personal coaching for corporate clients and professionals alike. He believes young professionals can be high-performing, highly engaged and empowered in uncertainty by being more empathetic and socially connected with tools to understand others quickly and communicate powerfully. His business lessons and communication skills were developed from his stint as GM at a multi-million dollar regional beverage company and as a Customer Relationship Manager at UBS, and partly owing to his diverse background as a Canadian Vietnamese..
Abhishek C. George
George is a serial explorer of quests, interested in finding elemental and simple answers to the questions and problems we have. He is co-founder at Food & Beverage Singapore - a B2B media and networking resource for Singapore’s F&B professionals and head honcho at Apostrophe Collective, a consulting and incubation firm. He can also be seen making cocktails and talking trash at The Spiffy Dapper, where he serves as their resident drunk. He spends his spare time working on Success Mind Map, where he is focused on developing a parallel archival system for the psyche with version tracking.
