The group now comprises of Empire Code Education for computer science training, Empire Code Launchpad for software development, and Empire Code Loves Back our social enterprise. When we first started out, the main obstacle we faced was the lack of awareness on the importance of Computer Science among local parents due to the lack of technopreneurs per capita in Singapore. Through the pandemic however, we have seen an increase in our students, as parents are now more aware of the importance of technology.
Do you have any advice for aspiring female technopreneurs?
It’s not easy, but keep learning, keep growing, keep your head up! Find a mentor to bounce your ideas off and to guide you on your journey. My father, an engineer turned successful business owner through sheer determination, has been my mentor till today.
