Entrepreneur Network

Leonard, thanks for inviting me to the blog... :)

Hello everyone!

Guess what?! SMU BIG (Business Innovations Generator) will be working in collaboration with TYLER to build the Entrepreneur Network within SMU.

Objectives of the Entrepreneur Network:

• A platform to post promotions and allow contributors to post their thoughts and any information relevant to Entrepreneurship
• Advertising your needs/offerings in a directory listing
• Networking and resource center
• Publicity vehicle to increase visibility and profile of Entrepreneurs/businesses listed.

This blog will be a supplement, if not the bloodline, of the Entrepreneur Network currently found in SMU BIG's website. (Click on the title above to get there) Do email me with your details if you would like to be listed in the directory - smubig@smu.edu.sg

SMU BIG will be promoting this blogspot together with the Entrepreneur Network, as a package, to the entire community and to the public. One step forward in order to do so is to migrate the SMU BIG website from the intranet, where it is currently hosted, to the internet. The current look and feel is also undergoing a significant cosmetic and navigational change to serve everyone better.

We target to have this revamp and move completed within 2 weeks time. Upon which, we are planning for an online publicity to the SMU community and our industry partners to launch this Entrepreneur Network.

We welcome suggestions on how we could better promote this new initiative amidst all the hustle and bustle that's going on in Campus right now... Amongst others, I am also thinking of getting it featured in Vie and/or Blurt as well...

On behalf of SMU BIG, we look forward to helping you build your business...

Contact me if you think we can be of assistance.

See you guys around!

hee hee want to start one of those business that Desai always championed?

Some possible starting points can be through the following :

A listing of NUS developed technologies for licensing

A Star technologies

My sensing is that chances that you can directly license from them as a student is slim. However you maybe able to up the ante if you can win competitions using their technologies and get our professors to validate it and then refer you to them .

Hey Guys!

Heard about the push carts at NLB? Details are avilable at http://www.rp.edu.sg/cie/YE/about/index.asp . Rental is cheap, but a friend who when there to recce told me the traffic was miserable. Hmmm for those interested in such push carts.

Hear about another one orgnized by I weekly behind cineleisure offers a much better public response. Think its on every alternate weeks. Rental quite cheap as well think about $30 a day . =)
