Working with ideas while they are still taking shape

My work with young entrepreneurs includes mentoring BAScii students, reviewing impact ventures at ANT Accelerator and judging the Bangkok Business Challenge @ Sasin. I have also joined student-led programmes and a hackathon with the CSII team.

01

Students building their own programme

In August 2021, I shared my work as a mentor at Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation, BAScii, with an online student presentation.

In April 2023, BAScii students invited me to their Road to Startup Bootcamp. I joined the programme and congratulated the student organisers on delivering an event of their own while developing entrepreneurial ideas.

Feedback at the pitch stage

At ANT Accelerator’s pre-demo day in June 2023, I served as a judge, reviewed projects and gave feedback to impact entrepreneurs at KX Knowledge Xchange.

I also judged the Bangkok Business Challenge @ Sasin in 2025, where student entrepreneurs pitched innovative, sustainable ventures with real-world impact.
