I left my last corporate job as a VP of a Singapore based Private Bank back in 2017 at the peak of my career, many of my closest friends thought I was going through some sort of personal crisis. In reality, I was frustrated by the rat race and wanted to achieve a personal breakthrough. I spent the first year couchsurfing across various parts of North-America with the intention of learning and discovering business ventures, while making small investments in the few that I found interesting. As I accumulated venture knowledge and risk tolerance, mostly through trying and failing, I found that on average founders used at least 5 different softwares to take care of basic business needs, and spent up to 2/3 of their working hours preparing for fund raise rather than actual business building.
