From Edutainment to Edutech: Mujong at the Entrepreneur Asia Pacific Summit

Today, Mujong took the stage at the Asia Pacific Entrepreneur Summit & Awards, held at The St. Regis Singapore and organised by Entrepreneur Asia Pacific in partnership with Entrepreneur Magazine, ACE (Action Community for Entrepreneurship), and EY. It marks a real evolution for us — from Edutainment startup to Edutech startup — as we debuted Mujong Digital, a software companion to our original physical tile game, to a room of angel investors, venture capitalists, private equity investors, and crowdfunding platforms.

The day’s most memorable moment was completely unplanned. During a main-stage panel, Kiki worked up the nerve to ask a question of the panellists. One of them, Jelmer David Ikink of Foxmont Capital, was visibly moved enough by the moment that he gifted her his own red “Entrepreneur” figurine on the spot, in recognition of the question and the eight-year-old who’d asked it. We won’t forget that.

Thank you to everyone at Entrepreneur Asia Pacific for having us in the room. Post-CNY is going to be busy — more soon!
