Business Pitching

Play to Connect: A Gamified Networking Experience is a small, curated offline networking session designed for business owners, creatives, and professionals who prefer meaningful connection over traditional pitching. Instead of elevator introductions and forced conversations, this session uses light games, observation activities, and shared experiences to help participants connect naturally. The focus is on alignment, collaboration, and brand impression, not selling. Through play, storytelling, and a relaxed tea setting, participants experience a different way of networking. One that feels natural, memorable, and enjoyable. This session is ideal for those who: \* Enjoy networking but dislike rigid formats \* Value authentic collaboration over transactional leads \* Prefer offline, experiential connection \* Are curious about new ways to build visibility and trust \* No pressure. No pitching. Just play, connection, and conversation.

**Friday is our open co-working day.** **​**People come to work on their own projects, take breaks together, and usually stay through the afternoon. It’s quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led. ​You can arrive anytime from 10AM. Most people show up after lunch and settle in before 1.30pm. Bring your laptop. Grab any open seat. Stay as long as you like. ​At 1.30pm, we pause work briefly for a shared session called The Stage, then everyone goes back to working. ​This is how Fridays here work. **The Stage @ 1.30PM** *The Stage is a short, open-format session where builders and founders share something they are actively working on. A workflow, a technical breakdown, a lesson learned, or just a topic keeping him/her up at night.* *The goal is to spark ideas you can try immediately after, during the same afternoon. After the session ends, most people simply open their laptops again and continue working.* [Michelle Lo Horton](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-lo-horton/) ​Founder & Chief Story Teller, [StoryARC](https://www.michellelohorton.com/) [​Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/michellelohorton/?hl=en) This week we switch gears away from our usual technical sharing to something more human. Michelle will be sharing how to tell stories that matter and how to create content that generates business outcomes for real businesses in the AI age. ​Michelle Lo Horton is a brand strategist and thought leader specializing in business storytelling for founders. Michelle works with technical founders and business owners across B2B and B2C sectors, helping them transform product narratives into competitive advantages. Her clients include AI companies, SaaS founders, and D2C brands looking to build defensible market positions through strategic storytelling. In the age of AI, building products has never been easier, or less differentiated. Everyone's vibe-coding similar solutions, which means technical excellence alone no longer guarantees market success. The new competitive advantage? Being essential to your audience's thinking, not just present in their feed. ​ This session introduces the ARC (Audience Relationship Capital) framework, a proprietary 0-30 quantitative methodology developed by Michelle. It's a framework that measures whether content builds commercial trust or just collects vanity metrics or generating noise. * ​The problem: Why product differentiation has collapsed and what that means for go-to-market strategy. * ​The evidence: Data patterns from founders showing the gap between attention metrics and business outcomes. * ​The framework: How to measure and build the three trust vectors that predict commercial success (Memory, Familiarity, Intent) * ​Practical application: The R↔C Weave methodology for technical founders—balancing relatability and competence without swinging to extremes ​Designed specifically for builders who prefer technical content, this session makes the commercial case for why storytelling isn't marketing fluff, it's your defensible moat. ​Three tangible takeaways: * ​A diagnostic tool: The ARC Score framework (0-30 scale) to audit whether your current content strategy is building commercial trust or just collecting vanity metrics * ​A mental model shift: Understanding that in AI-commoditized markets, distribution beats differentiation, and strategic storytelling is how you win distribution * ​An action step: A specific 30-day content audit method to identify which trust vector (Memory, Familiarity, or Intent) is your weakest, and therefore where your growth opportunity lives. ​After the session, we go back to work or hang out to network. --- **RSVP here >** https://luma.com/fxklskiu?utm_source=meetup

Hey everyone! We organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but feel working alone at home can get a bit lonely :-) To ensure that we have both socialising AND working, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat, we typically do up to 3 rounds. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro (please come on time)** Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50min of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) -> then 10min of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. -> Repeat * **Wrap Up and dinner (optional)** Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— Location is Two Blur Guys (387 Jln Besar, Singapore 209002). We have booked a separate room with a big table screen at the end of the cafe space, just walk all the way through when you walk in, or ask the barista. Wifi + power plugs are there but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You DO NOT have to pay anything, but since we are using the café space, it would be common courtesy to buy at least one drink. Please remember to release your RSVP in case you are not able to make it for the people on the waitlist and looking forward to seeing you there! :) Note: RSVP-ing and then no show will result in penalties: 1 No show = warning 2 No shows = de-prioritized for those in waitlist 3 No shows = blocked from future events Cheers Vicente
