Being an entrepreneur is not easy. Whether bootstrapped or raising the next round, the founder experience comes with life lessons. Every founder’s journey is different from the other. Full of challenges, burnouts, small joys, and aptly glorified highs, this roller coaster of a journey deserves to be told.
Even if you have just joined the bandwagon, your story is valuable and inspiring. Building a SaaS product to help small businesses or working on climate change innovation; revolutionising health, education or any other consumer space; the ecosystem wants to know you and what you are building.
At e27, we always strive to serve the ecosystem. This time around, we want to open up our platform and its wide reader base for founders of all ages and backgrounds to share their stories.
Inspire the next generation of founders, share life lessons with your counterparts, attract investor attention, and even present your idea/product/MVP to the ecosystem via the e27 Contributor Programme: Share your story campaign.

What will founders gain
As a startup, you don’t always have the luxury of hiring a particular PR person to build media relations. Getting your founder story published with e27 will make it easier for you to take it to investors and establish greater credibility.
Investors are looking for founders with a story, and your article can you get your foot in that door. Sharing your motivation and product expertise will build a stronger case for your startup when fundraising in the market. This also shows how passionate you are about making your startup.
We will share your story just like all other e27 articles amply on your social media and send it to our entire newsletter audience. The added validation of your ideas from other founders and professionals in the community will greatly endorse your ideas.
Managing Partner at RHL Ventures, Rachel Lau, says: “The visibility has been great. Like, someone from LinkedIn would occasionally say to me ‘Hey, I read your article on the Vietnam stuff, and I think it’s great”, and it’s nice to get that kind of message. I think the contributor channel has the right exposure from the right target audiences, which also becomes a challenge to me to write to the right target audiences.”
We have groomed a thriving community of two million readers in the tech and startup industry, making it a great place to reflect upon the interests of the startup economy in Asia. The e27 Contributor Programme is your chance to share your thoughts and opinions with this community.
With the anticipated slowdown in the tech space, it may be hard to keep the spirits up, but we need each other even more at times like these. Plus, a little bit of fame never hurts.
