Synopsis
In this inaugural 'Venture Creation in Asia: Fireside Chat series', we are bringing Founders | Entrepreneurs and Investors | Angels | Mentors | Venture Builders together in moderated fireside chat sessions to share stories of venture building - highlighting the fact that venture building is a sustained team effort.
In this fireside chat, we bring together the founder of MindFi - and one of his angel investors and key advisors - to talk about the journey of building MindFi, a fast-growing technology startup and a leader in the corporate mental wellbeing space in Asia.
About MindFi:
MindFi's mission is to build positive and productive workplaces with greater mental wellbeing. Through our family of apps and services, we're helping companies to build a more mindful workplace culture for their employees around the world, give them access to practical and relevant wellbeing tools, connect them with supportive peers or professionals, and help employers and leaders to develop more sustainable people-centric programs and policies.
Based in sunny Singapore, we are a fast-growing technology startup managed by a team of technology veterans from Silicon Valley and Asia and our products have been featured by Apple, BBC, Forbes, SCMP. MindFi is advised by global leaders in business, psychology and technology, such as ex-Apple Distinguished Technologist and serial entrepreneur Yen-Lu Chow, and Prof. Steve Hickman of UC San Diego (UCSD).
YOUR SPEAKERS: BJORN LEE & YEN-LU CHOW
YOUR MODERATOR: MOHAN BELANI
Bjorn Lee is a serial entrepreneur and technology executive with experience in Asia and Silicon Valley.
He is currently the Founder and CEO of MindFi, a digital platform for mental health in modern workplaces. In 2011, Bjorn was cofounder of Stickery, an educational games startup in San Francisco that was funded by Google Ventures. During that time, he suffered from stress-induced chest pains that were "cured" after he took his doctor's advice to learn mindfulness.
In a subsequent role at Zendesk, his exposure to the high-pressure customer support industry made him realize mental wellbeing is not just a personal, but a business solution.
Yen-Lu Chow is the Co-Founder & Executive Chairman, WholeTree Foundation / Over-The-Rainbow; Founding Executive Chairman, Asia Institute of Mentoring; Founding Partner, Fatfish MediaLab; Executive Mentor, YSI SEA; and Founder of the Deep Human Movement.
His career spans nearly 40 years in the tech, media, venture capital, and more recently social entrepreneurship and philanthropy. A former Apple Distinguished Technologist, he is a successful entrepreneur and an active angel investor.
In a fast-paced world where the only constant is change, he believes there is an urgent need for each of us to draw on our strengths and creative potential as human beings, to connect with our higher self and our deeper purpose to contribute towards humanity in a positive and impactful way. He is on a life mission to help bring about a kinder, gentler, more inclusive, more just, and sustainable world.
Mohan Belani is the Co-founder and CEO of e27, a startup and tech ecosystem platform focused on helping startup founders build and grow their companies.
He believes that startups can make the world a better place, and in order for Southeast Asia's tech ecosystem to be relevant, it needs to be driven by sustainable and impactful companies solving problems at scale.
He enjoys working with Founders and helping them alleviate the challenges of building great companies specifically around the areas of talent, funding and market access.
