The NOC Alumni is founded in 2003 and has a huge network of entrepreneurs that lives in major entrepreneurship hubs in the World. NOC is a year-long programme where students immerse themselves in leading entrepreneurship and academic hubs, such as Silicon Valley, Stockholm, Beijing, Shanghai and many others. Members of the NOC Alumni have since then made tremendous impact on the local entrepreneurship scene, creating numerous startups that are fast growing and highly scalable. We are also committed to developing entrepreneurship in Singapore, and have organized many nationwide events that promote entrepreneurship.

Who Are We?

Startup Weekend is an event where anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas (as determined by popular vote) and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback. The objective is to launch their startup over the weekend.

Mission Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. The non-profit organization is headquartered out of Seattle, Washington but Startup Weekend organizers and facilitators can be found in over 150 cities around the world, where they gather for weekend long workshops to pitch ideas, form teams, and start companies.
