On joining U-Go
“We don’t know where Asia’s next unicorn might come from, I like to think that it might come from budding entrepreneurs that we haven’t even started out yet. Let’s support young ambitious talents who have the potential to shape and contribute back to their nation and communities, leaving lasting impact.”
