I am an
entrepreneur.
These are my entrepreneurial ventures, beginning from when I was 5 years old.
First business ever!
My first ever business, conducted with a few friends. They were moving out of Hong Kong, at least for a long time. This was a bit of a fundraiser for our "farewell party," and we made handmade ornaments and jewellery, set up our stand and just kind of started talking to anyone who would listen.

Young Entrepreneur X-Factor
This was my first pitching competition. I entered YEX with my business idea "Drive Me Crazy", a gamified navigation app I thought of during traffic jam. Conducted online in 2021, I won the Second Runners-up. Watch the video below!

KaTY Bears
Let me just tell you a quick story:
I used to be afraid of going anywhere alone. One day, at my grandparents' place, my grandma took a handkerchief and turned it into a small teddy bear. I named it Katy, from my name Karen Chew Thong Yan. More on it here.

SIIC
The Semarak International Innovation Challenge was conducted in 2023.
