Lunch with Shing at Cafe Siam

Meeting with Shing, Founder of Easyvan! Shing came with a really interesting background — before he started Easyvan, he was a professional poker player for 7 years. Prior to that he had worked at Bain Consulting for 3 years and graduated from Stanford. He shared many personal insights to running a start up and compares it to become an artist or athletes because you are only remembered when you are the first!

This meeting has raised over 20 volunteer hours to China Peniel Missionary Society Social Center, Phoenix Charities Foundation LTD & Hands On Hong Kong.
