Want to have dinner with someone who's really been through the startup grind?
Dong Wenhao dropped out of school twice. Started his first company at 19. Got backed. Sold that company. Went to NS. Then, he spent the next 9 years building.

And he’s joining us for a small group dinner with the Student Entrepreneurship Community at NUS.
No slides. No pitching. Just a casual, honest conversation about what it’s really like to build, grow, and figure things out along the way.

📍 21 Heng Mui Keng Terrace Level 3 (I3 Building, The Hangar)
