Mind the Gap — International Book Launch (Singapore)
Join us at Book Bar on Duxton Road for the international launch of Mind the Gap: Scaling Businesses Across Cultures, in partnership with the Tsinghua University Book Club Singapore.
Following the spirit of one of the book’s core lessons, when entering a new market, find the right local partner.
That’s why we chose to host this event with Book Bar, one of Singapore’s most beloved independent bookstores. The setting reflects what the book is about: relationships, local context, and showing up in person.
Duxton also holds personal meaning for Vinnie. Nearly two decades ago, this street was where his Singapore journey began, working out of the now-iconic Pigeonhole café. Years later, Golden Gate Ventures returned to Duxton to establish its international headquarters. Launching the book here feels especially fitting.
Together, we’re bringing founders, investors, operators, and globally minded friends together for an intimate evening of conversation.
Both co-authors, Vinnie Lauria (Golden Gate Ventures) and Stefano Pellegrino (Aquila), will share a short talk, followed by audience Q&A, book signing, and drinks.
Each registered guest will receive a complimentary drink voucher, because yes, Book Bar is both a bookstore and a bar.
If you'd like to support independent bookstores, copies of Mind the Gap will be available directly through Book Bar before and during the event:
