These S’porean student-entrepreneurs are proving it’s never too early to start up

Entrepreneurs Alexander Lim and Sean Lam are undergraduates at SMU, but they’re also running a start-up to help young Singaporeans improve their studies through their online tuition platform, Cudy. They noticed that not all families can afford the rising fees from tuition centres, which contributes to unequal learning opportunities for students from different economic backgrounds, and seek to “democratise education", by hiring over 500 freelance tutors (and counting) to livestream tuition classes online, and recently raised funding to upgrade their services.
