WIB is pleased to bring to you the screening of #GoAgainstTheFlow – a short film featuring the inspiring stories of entrepreneurs who are swimming upstream, against the flow!

Hear from entrepreneurs changing the face of healthcare through technology, pioneering in the share services space with the likes of Airbnb and Lyft, and creating global platforms that connect professionals from all corners of the world.

The screening will be followed by a fireside chat with Karen Winton – MD of Nest VC London – a team of “Venture Catalysts” that build the infrastructure to support entrepreneurs and innovators through every step of their journey.

Nest VC is an international VC firm with offices in London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta and Nairobi. Nest has made close to 60 investments since inception in 2010 and usually invests between $50,000 - $500,000 per deal.

This event also marks the launch of our #GoAgainstTheFlow Series – a partnered initiative with the #GoAgainstTheFlow team focusing on topics relevant to your career development, be it as entrepreneurs or corporate professionals. So stay tuned for more on this throughout the year!
