Ciao a tutti! 👋
Sono Damian e negli ultimi tempi ho lavorato a SkillSwap, un sito (presto anche app) che nasce da un’idea semplice: ognuno di noi sa fare qualcosa che qualcun altro vorrebbe imparare.
L’idea è mettere in contatto persone con competenze diverse, così puoi imparare qualcosa di nuovo scambiando le tue conoscenze con quelle di qualcun altro — niente pagamenti, solo scambio alla pari. Che sia una lingua, uno strumento musicale, programmazione, cucina o qualsiasi altra cosa tu sappia fare.
Non serve nemmeno vivere nella stessa città: puoi scambiarti contatti o profili social e organizzare lo scambio anche online.
Sto testando il progetto in questa fase iniziale e mi piacerebbe avere qualche persona curiosa che lo provi e mi dica sinceramente cosa ne pensa. Ogni feedback, anche critico, è prezioso in questo momento.

Any budding entrepreneurs here or successful entrepreneurs who have transitioned or thinking of transitioning from a side hustle to a main hustle and are looking to grow their business, side hustles? Looking to connect and learn more about what you do and how has your journey been. Currently building a lifestyle collective, involving coffee, events, wellness, culture & community.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently exploring the possibility of starting a small import business focusing on either 1) Food / Snacks from overseas for human consumption or 2) pet products particularly Pet supplements & Pet shampoos

I’m still very early in the research stage and would like to get some suggestions from fellow redditors who are in the importing/distribution business.

I’m especially interested in understanding how you started, mistakes you made, costs you underestimated, and what you would do differently if you were starting again today.

as well i have the following questions.

1. Which would be easier to import into Singapore in terms of regulation and complexity, 1) Food / Snacks for humans or 2) Pet Supplements / Products.

2. What is your process for checking whether a new product can legally be imported and sold in Singapore

3. How do you determine whether a product is commercially viable before importing it?

4. What has been the hardest part of the business: finding suppliers, regulatory compliance, logistics, getting customers, managing cash flow, dealing with retailers, or something else?

Hope to hear from everyone!

Hey are you an automation expert or agency serving businesses in Singapore?

Would love to have a chat to collaborate.

I’m the founder of PlayerCast VR, an Android product that turns compatible phones into a low-cost immersive viewing and gaming setup.

The product is already launched and available on Google Play across 172 countries. Now I’m exploring the next stage: building a network of local country partners instead of trying to market every country myself.

I’m looking for people who understand their local market and can help with things like creator/influencer outreach, local-language marketing, gaming/mobile communities, social media, and partnerships with sellers of inexpensive VR headsets/accessories.

This is a digital product, so there’s no inventory to purchase or warehouse. I’m primarily thinking about a commission/revenue-share model tied to verified sales, with the possibility of stronger country partnerships once traction is proven.

If you’re interested, comment or DM me with:

Your country

Your background or audience

The channels you would use

How you would try to get the first 100 users in your market

I’m also interested in hearing from founders who have built an international reseller, affiliate, or country-partner network for a digital product. I’d love to know what worked and what you would avoid.

I have tried to invite strangers from Singapore to test my B2B SaaS product. I primarily use cold emailing or LinkedIn outreach, but I usually get ghosted with no reply. This also applies for people that we share mutual connections.

Are Singapore businesses open to being "early adopters" of software products? For instance, you invite them to test your product without any cost. You give them free early access, so they would only need to pay if they find the product useful.

Hi everyone! I'm planning to set up a company in Singapore as a foreign founder for my tech startup. I've been looking into OSOME and Sleek, but I'd love to hear from people who have actually used them. Is OSOME good? How was your experience with the incorporation process, customer support, pricing, and ongoing compliance? Would you recommend OSOME, or is there another provider that's better for foreign entrepreneurs?

Thanks in advance!
