Nellie’s ambition to innovate how professionals upskill stems from her experiences in university, and in recruitment. Time after time, she saw candidates struggle to get dream jobs because they didn’t have the relevant skills needed from their educational investments. She challenges mass education formats that fail to prepare future leaders for success in the real world. With social learning, she’s confident that traditional corporate learning programmes, which give leaders more yawns than eureka moments, will be obsolete over the next decade

Session 1: Building your App from Idea to Minimum Viable Product ( 1pm SGT ) (AWS )
Early-stage startups are time and resource-constrained and need to quickly get to product-market fit. This session is for startups who want to find out the best ways to build their minimal viable product (MVP) on AWS. You’ll get an overview of how startups build MVPs using services like API Gateway, Amplify, Lambda, Managed Kubernetes on AWS, Lightsail, and Database options. After this session, you’ll be able to pick the right technologies and use pre-configured architectures to speed up your development.
Session 2: Building Features and shipping your MVP (2pm SGT)
Build features as per your MVP requirements. Eric Ries (author of The Lean Startup) tells startups to adopt a Build → Measure → Learn feedback loop. Ries says, “The fundamental activity of a startup is to turn ideas into products, measure how customers respond, and then learn whether to pivot or persevere.“ Startups that are able to execute the Build → Measure → Iterate cycle fast are the ones that succeed.
In order to execute fast, you need to be able to build tech that can evolve as your requirements evolve. Once you’ve built out all the remaining requirements it’s time to get user feedback. To ship our web app, we can use the Amplify Console. The AWS Amplify Console provides a Git-based workflow for hosting full-stack serverless web apps with continuous deployment.
An effective marketing strategy can transform your startups' growth trajectory and inspire your audience to quickly become your customers. Whether you are a team of 2 or 200, this session will dive into how you can build a first-class marketing strategy that scales with you.
