Mission
Camp Dreamity is a deeply experiential games-based program that aims to strengthen the
entrepreneurial mindset in school-aged children. With half the kids from low income or
marginalized families, and the other half from regular households, the goal is to have the
kids meet, mix and with different backgrounds, come out with different ideas and explore
different facets of innovation.
Targeted at Youths aged 8 – 14, exposing these youths to solving problems, designing
sustainable solutions, allowing them to experiment, learn and fail, is the goal of the
bootcamp to curate the entrepreneurial Youth from the masses and bring them into our
unique eco-system to nurture them and hopefully inspire future generations that would
have solutions to our current problems.
Youths will go through training that will help them in generating business ideas and skills
to pitch their ideas. There will be a lot of opportunities for presentations and public
speaking as well as working in teams to solve problem

Dreamity Bazzar is a 1 day event where Youths (aged 8-14) can try out the lessons they
learn from Camp Dreamity.
• Youth prepare to sell their products and services to the public, getting feedback and
learning real hands on experience in running their business other than just doing
business plans and presentations.
• Youths work on their business idea and during the bazzar, they can practice their sales
pitch and sell the crafts that they make.
• With real interaction with customers, the youths gain real experience in an
environment where they have to adapt quickly and understand that the business plan
is only part of the business and actual sales and customer service is the key to
success.

He made his first pitch to potential investors, his parents at the age of 14. While the pitch attempt backfired and failed miserably, his vision became clearer and he was determined to prove everyone wrong.
He got himself a part time job, self-funded his own Comics Distribution business and the rest they say is history.
At 15 he started a Bulletin Board Service (BBS) from the profits, at 19 started his first software company "Trinity Softworks" which helped Singtel develop Mobile Data Solutions for vertical markets in the late 90s.
He hopes to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs by sharing lessons from his own successes and failures.
