Stephanie Arrowsmith, Phnom Penh, Cambodia,
Work focus: The majority of my experience pertains to global crowdfunding and how it applies to the social impact sector. Working with social entrepreneurs, NGOs, government and community groups, I’ve seen how crowdfunding can disrupt traditional funding methods to help launch and scale social good initiatives, while building a community of supporters around a particular issue. I’ve personally helped launch over 100 crowdfunding campaigns on StartSomeGood.com and have consulted on a number of issues related to social crowdfunding in Asia-Pacific – including running workshops in Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia and speaking at conferences or representing as a panelist at events across the region.
Naveen Nandan, Singapore, Singapore
Work focus: I’m a Programmer by Passion, Data Scientist, and currently a Researcher with SAP Asia focusing on Urban Information Systems. Prior to this role I was working with the MIT SENSEable City Lab at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) on real-time and distributed systems, a Singapore startup JamiQ.com and the Education & Research department at Infosys. My work has been published at various scientific conferences and workshops (IEEE, WWW, PAKDD, etc.). My current research interests are in applying machine learning, network theory, geospatial data mining, crowdsourcing and pervasive technologies to deliver relevant location-based services to mobile users that could improve their overall experience in, both, the virtual and the physical world. I enjoy teaching/mentoring, music and strumming the guitar.
Nithish Monson, New Delhi, India
We currently have clients from US and Europe. As budding entrepreneurs in crowdsourcing space, we believe our presence will be valuable in YAP.
Work focus: Our interest is in crowdsourcing skilled professional tasks, enabling businesses to tap into a talent pool on demand. To make it easier for architecture enterprises, We came up with a unique model involving two tier of freelances( managers and workers). Managers break the projects into smaller tasks and assign it to the workers; they are also responsible for coordinating, reviewing and compiling the work. This model would ensure quality and enhance efficiency.
Shreya Bisht, Gurgaon, India,
Work focus: My specific interest is in exploring the potential of crowdsourcing in the field of Architecture. I believe that architectural enterprises can benefit greatly in terms of efficiency, productivity and innovation if they were to fully utilize the extensive talent pool available to them through crowdsourcing.
Chui Ling Wong, Singapore, Singapore
Work focus: My interest is to learn more about how crowdsourcing in bringing collaborations suitable in clean tech space, mitigating risk and understanding achievable milestones in every funding rounds and how to create a sustainable business in clean tech.
