DESCRIPTION
A primer on Singapore's most popular startup co-working space, events space and entrepreneur community. What is it like? Who is it for? What facilities and events are available?TRANSCRIPT
Startup co-‐working space and hotdesks Plug-‐In@Blk71 offers the usage of a coworking space for early stage start-‐ups that are still validating their business model. Shared or personal desks are provided. Shared desks are for start-‐ups that don't require work desks around the week while regular desks for those who will be working at the space regularly. Renewal of the coworking space / startup hotdesk lease is dependent on the progress and case-‐by-‐case need of the startup.
We embrace an open working concept, where entrepreneures discuss and dissect ideas freely because we believe such exchanges will generate valuable feedback to the individual but also the startup community. We house a diverse group of people. Ranging from young graduates to industry veterans, startups to institutional investors, we see a healthy diversity within our community. With over 20 nationalities represented, you can receive a cultural education beyond the confines of national borders.
Frills? 24 hour access because we know start-‐ups operate on their own time. Free internet, endless coffee, rows of lockers for storage as well as printing facilities (B&W ink is free, but paper is BYOB). Best of it all -‐ We host regular workshops, hackathons, meetups, pitching sessions and more! Spend less time traveling and more time building your world-‐changing venture!

About Plug-‐In@Blk71
Plug-In@Blk71 is a startup co-working space, events space and entrepreneur community, which is a joint initiative by NUS Enterprise, MDA and Singtel Innov8 for the purpose of creating a collaborative and synergistic community. Managed by NUS Enterprise, Plug-In@Blk71 serves as a common platform where different stakeholders in a business venture can meet and be connected together to help accelerate the growth of young startups and budding ideas. Besides offering space to conduct events and hot desks for entrepreneurs to test bed and work on their ideas, the founding bodies aim to bring 4 elements into this community: institutions, industry experts, funding bodies as well as government - all to bridge the gap and close the loop in establishing successful start-ups. To translate this grand vision into actionable steps, NUS Enterprise has put together business clinics, networking sessions, VC pitching sessions, and industrial-sharing seminars to be held within Plug-In@Blk71, through which, the community will be exposed to a holistic support network where dots can be connected. So whether you are an individual with ideas, a software engineer, an industry expert or a venture capitalist, we welcome you to plug into this community! Join us!
