**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.* *Interested to speak? Express interest here: [form here](https://sq-collective.notion.site/2a1aae2f95ae80e38156eaecfc9eb885?pvs=105)* **Topic: The Opportunity in Being Human** **Speaker: Russell Huang** ​Russell Huang is trying to understand what a founder is so he can call himself one. ​After a life in investigating geopolitical power dynamics, emergent risks in human-factor cybersecurity, and litigation intelligence advisory for high-stakes fraud, he can't help but ask a more interesting question: if AI can actually do good for the world. He's working on Project Ujong — currently an experiment in understanding if and how LLMs can drive togetherness, with the hope of reimagining how people live, connect and discover in Singapore. You still have no idea who Russell is after reading this. ​This session is not about frameworks, customer acquisition or showcasing AI applications. It will be a candid sharing of what it means to know a person, and how AI could be used to highlight the human traits that matter in an age of agents, dehumanisation and ennui. ​**Takeaway:** Hope, and a new perspective on AI's potential to reimagine experience altogether. ​​After the session, we go back to work.

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.

Hi, my name is Benedikt. I organize MindHub events in Munich, Germany. I’m currently visiting Singapore and spontaneously decided to bring MindHub here and host a small meetup while I’m in town. I’m curious to learn how entrepreneurship and building projects might feel different in Singapore compared to Germany, and I’m looking forward to meeting you. MindHub is a global community-driven meetup for people interested in **entrepreneurship, design, technology, and building things together**. This is **not a talk, not a panel, and not a pitch event**. It’s a **Focused Session** centered around real conversations, shared experiences, and peer learning. **Theme of this edition:** 👉 From employee to founder: when is the right time — and what holds us back (consciously or unconsciously)? We’ll explore questions like: * How do we know when we’re “ready enough” — or does that moment ever really exist? * Which fears, doubts, or external factors slow us down the most? * Which risks are real, and which ones mostly live in our heads? Whether you’re: * currently employed but thinking about starting something * already working on a side project * in the middle of a transition * or have made the jump before — you’re very welcome to join. **How the session works** We’ll keep things simple and human: 🔹 **Part 1 – Themed Group Discussion** A lightly structured exchange around the topic, grounded in personal experiences rather than theory. 🔹 **Part 2 – Open Conversation & Connection** More free-flowing discussion, peer exchange, and informal networking around the table. No slides. No lectures. No pressure to perform. **What this space is for** * Connecting with real builders and curious minds * Sharing real challenges (not just polished success stories) * Exchanging practical insights, experiences, and perspectives Listening is just as welcome as sharing. **Who this is for** Anyone interested in ideas, projects, and personal or professional growth — from first-time explorers to experienced builders. Both newcomers and returning MindHub members are very welcome. **About MindHub** MindHub is a **community-led initiative** exploring new ways of learning, collaborating, and building together. It’s experimental, open, and shaped by the people who show up. Each city operates locally, aligned with a shared vision of **accessible, peer-driven community events**. **Practical info** 📍 Location: [Project Dignity Singapore](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Project+Dignity+Singapore/@1.3171975,103.8624647,21z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x31da17e35c6a3c7b:0xd278d9950345ee69!8m2!3d1.3171941!4d103.8625373!16s%2Fg%2F1ptymrlz9?authuser=0&hl=de&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDMwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) 🕒 Duration: \~2 hours 💸 Free / pay for your own food/drinks 👉 **Note:** The number of available spots on Meetup is only a guideline. There are often last-minute cancellations, and we have room for more than 10 people — feel free to come by and bring anyone you like 🙂 If you’ve joined before — welcome back. If it’s your first time — you’ll fit right in. Let’s keep building together.

**New phase of life, new connections. ✨** **No pressure, just good vibes and real talk.** It’s a familiar story: life gets busy, mindsets change, and suddenly your social circle feels a little smaller.

Whether you’re looking to expand your "girl tribe", find new hobby partners, engage in illuminating conversations, or simply enjoy a drink after a week's work, we have a seat saved for you. Come for the conversation; stay for the community. **✨ Why Join Us?** * **Warm Welcomes:** Our hosts act as "social catalysts".

Just organic conversation and good energy. * **A Safe Space:** We maintain a strict "No-Harassment" environment so you can relax and be yourself. **📍 Venue & Details** * **Where:** Koyoi by Kanpai (1 Shenton Way, #01-02, Singapore 068803) — *A chic, cozy spot perfect for conversation.* * **When:** Arrive between 6 PM – 7 PM for the **Early Bird Special** 🎟️ **Admission** (Pls signup via [Luma](https://luma.com/0ry486pb)) * **$20 per person** * **Special buddy ticket bundle at $35** **for two** if you have a friend to hang with, but you're searching for a party posse! * Note: RSVPs on Meetup do not count as a confirmed spot. **🎁 Exclusive Perks for Our Guests** We’ve partnered with Koyoi to bring you some extra love: * **15% OFF Food:** Hungry?

About 70% of our attendees come solo. Our hosts are on-site specifically to help you break the ice and ensure no one is left standing alone. **"What if I don't drink alcohol?"** No problem! Koyoi has a great selection of non-alcoholic beverages and food.

That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix. They’re wrong. This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way). ### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook** We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid. ### **What You’ll Learn** Amanda will walk through: **Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)** * How to structure the deal correctly * How expenses must be handled * When UBIT may apply **Wholesale within a retirement account** * How assignments work * What type of income it creates **Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale** * How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs * How to structure notes properly * How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account ### **The Core Idea** There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts. This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.** ### **Who This Event Is For** * Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules * Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources) * People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds ### **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)* **Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)* **Food:** Free food included **FREE meetup.
