A look back at 2018, the changes the year brought us, and some steps we plan for the coming year

It’s that time of the year, yes, Christmas Time!

While in some countries snowflakes are falling down and in other sun is shining in the sky, it is the perfect timing to wait for Santa, right?

Right, if you have been a good kid.

While this time of the year is a good moment to celebrate, share gifts, meet your loved ones and spend quality time together, at the same time it is a perfect moment to analyse 2018 and see how much change this year brought for you and plan next steps for 2019 personally and professionally.

For us, 2018 was a year of growth, and I am sure it was the same for you. Regardless of what has happened, change occurred. Inevitably, when change occurs, growth happens.

Now take a pen and write your 2019 resolutions, take time to think what would you like to accomplish in this new year? If you had the slightest idea to build a startup why postponing and not acting now?

e27 is a good place to start with either by following our online content or by attending our tech events customized for early stage entrepreneurs.

This year marked the first edition of e27 Academy, a three-day learning programme designed to help aspiring and early-stage start-up founders build their companies and navigate the ecosystem., based on mentorship sessions, workshops and roundtable discussions created specially for them. We would like to focus on this event as the starting point for the “startup journey”. Following an intense bootcamp where the entrepreneurs will absorb a lot of new information, we would like to start the next year with Echelon Roadshow which is actually a pitching competition we organise across Asia, where the founders can put into practice what they have learned about the new market/setting up their own business.

Everything should have a finality during Echelon Asia Summit 2019, when worldwide recognised investors are coming together with VC firms, corporations or government representatives to meet the newest business ideas to invest in.

This is what we are planning for the next future and we would be delighted to have you as a new member into our community, to help you with the right tools to build your dream and to learn from your experience.

If you are based in Southeast Asia, even better, come meet us at our offices in Singapore or write us an email at engage@27.co to learn more about our own or our partner’s programs.

Happy New Year!
