​About

​​​At Figuring Shit Out, we put on events for Founders who don't normally go to events. We didn't believe Singapore needed another panel, fireside chat or Q&A so we did the radical step of asking speakers think ahead of time about what they wanted to say. Beyond palatable food & hopefully more than palatable networking, why schlep across town to sit in a cramped room for an hour: Perspective!

​​All our speakers come from fascinating career backgrounds that caused them to look at the world and think about problems in uniquely insightful ways. Each of our talks provides a unique lens on the problems facing startups that Founders can absorb to provide a new toolkit of insights for their own founder journey.

​​​Topic

​In a first from Figuring Shit Out, we are specifically inviting an out of town speaker to cover his perspectives on Singapore Startups. As a huge fan of his startup writings on Sohum.com, I reached out to see if he was interested in giving a talk and the timings fortunately worked out. Join us for a very special FSO session for what is sure to be an illuminating session with a rare thinker and doer in the technology space.
