​You can look profitable on paper and still lie awake wondering if there's enough in the bank to make payroll.

​Or you've got the opposite problem: cash piling up in your business account, doing nothing.

​Either way, it's the part nobody really teaches you: what to do with the money once it's coming in. Getting sales, you'll figure out. Managing the cash is where good businesses quietly die.

​🚀 So this one's about the money, unfiltered. We've brought together two operators who've lived both ends of it, to share the mistakes they made and what they'd do differently.

​Zames Chew (Forbes 30 Under 30) built Repair.sg from a $30 website at 16 into a business doing over $3M a year. The honest part: years "at the brink of death," including a loan he burned just to survive COVID.

​Joewin Tan built a multimillion-dollar events business where cash stayed tight at $10K a month or $1M, and now frees up cash for SME owners for a living ($15M and counting).

​One's living it. One's fixed it for hundreds of others. Both will be honest about the parts nobody posts on LinkedIn.

​🍽️ Dinner's on us, so come hungry for both.

​🔥 Meet Our Speaker

​Zames Chew (Co-Founder & CEO @ Repair.sg)

​Zames started Repair.sg at 16 with his younger brother Amos and a $30 website, after their parents couldn't find a decent handyman. A decade on, it's a real, bootstrapped business doing over $3M a year with a 20-strong team, and it's earned Zames a spot on Forbes 30 Under 30.

​It wasn't smooth. Built in a low-margin trade where cashflow is everything, the business spent years "at the brink of death." He'll share what actually kept the lights on.

​Joewin Tan (CEO @ Quant Consulting Group)

​Joewin spent 8 years building HUONE Singapore, a multimillion-dollar events business with clients like Google and Netflix. She learned the hard way that cash stays tight whether you're doing $10K a month or $1M.

​Today she runs Quant Consulting Group, a cashflow consultancy that's freed up over $15M for SME owners. She's who founders call when the P&L looks great but the bank account doesn't.
