Fireside Chat: From IPO to Investor: Building What Comes Next
Women Shaping the Next Chapter of Deep Tech, Capital, and Governance.
A Fireside Chat organised by NUS Enterprise
The IPO bell isn't a finish line—it's a springboard. Join us for an intimate fireside chat that goes beyond the headlines of going public to explore what it really takes to build enduring companies, allocate capital wisely, and govern for the long game.
Our all-female panel brings together three leaders who have each crossed from one side of the table to another—founder, investor, and board member. Together they'll unpack the full arc: taking a mission-driven hardware company public, backing the next generation of founders, and building strong governance as a strategic asset rather than a compliance chore.
Expect a candid conversation on protecting founding purpose under public-market scrutiny, what separates founders who scale well from those who stall, and how the fundraising landscape is genuinely shifting for women founders and deep-tech builders. Whether you're an aspiring founder, a scaling entrepreneur, or an NOC alum charting your next move, this session offers rare, first-hand perspective from those who have done it.
