Younger entrepreneurs are on the rise, seeking more than stability and security

BENJAMIN Wong was 27 years old when he decided to take things into his own hands and become his own boss. 

Together with his friend Hafiz Kasman, the two Singapore Management University (SMU) graduates founded their own business in 2020. The company, Kinobi, is a career guidance service platform that aims to help graduates in Singapore and Indonesia accelerate their careers. 

When asked why he left his previous job at a multifamily office to become an entrepreneur, he said: “I wanted more fulfillment in my job. I wanted to have an impact on people’s lives, I wanted to help people.”
