Entrepreneurship a lonely journey, says Ash Singh

Startups and entrepreneurship is a ‘lonely journey’ and budding entrepreneurs must learn early what it means to fail.

“Its loneliness all the way through. But loneliness is a powerful experience, too, because it helps you to connect to your authentic self. And I go to understand who I was,” serial entrepreneur Ash Singh told Channel News Asia (CNA) when featured on Millionaire Minds programme.

Canadian born and now settled in Singapore, Ash made his first million at 22 from a startup he built during his college days.

“But he’s no stranger to the struggles involved in the startup life. A serial entrepreneur and investor, Ash created now spends the majority of his time teaching, hoping that with his knowledge and experience, he can ‘pay-it- forward’,” read the introduction by the programme.

Ash was also the man behind The Angel’s Gate, badged as Asia’s first 360 TV platform for entrepreneurs aired prime-time on Singapore’s MediaCorp’s Channel NewsAsia and YouTube.
