SLSC June Meetup

Singapore Lean Startup Circle (SLSC) is a monthly meetup where 3 (or occasionally 4) speakers discuss a topic related to lean startup theory or practice. The event is interactive, with question and answer periods, best practice sharing, and a closing session for celebrating #flearns i.e. failures that taught us something.
