      Jan 2020 - now

      Pawjourr is a pet influencer marketplace.✅ Secured seed funding from investors like Goodwater Capital, Far East Ventures etc. ✅ Scaled company from 0 > 1. ✅ Expanded into New York & Malaysia.✅ Featured on media publications e.g. BBC, SCMP etc.Fun fact: My white hair has 100X Pawjourr was created to help pet owners through their pet parenting journey. During this period, I managed all finance & operations - including pitching to investors.Reasons it didn't work out - Forced user behaviour - High acquisition cost - No clear path to monetization After spending a year on the idea, we pivoted in Jan 2021 to expand on our original idea.
