Spirit of Enterprise Awards

For nearly a decade, the Spirit of Enterprise has been a non-profit and non-governmental charity organisation dedicated to cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit in Singapore. The organisation also hopes to inspire young Singaporeans to pursue roles in entrepreneurship. 

Their work through the years has been to honour excellent home-grown entrepreneurs, executing programs for young beneficiaries, and fostering platforms where they can interact and learn from each other.

The Story Behind Venuerific : The Power of “What If?”

Founded in 2013, Venuerific was CEO Ricardo Sentosa’s “What If?” turned to reality. At the time, Ricardo was passionate about finding digital solutions for restaurants struggling with high manpower costs and rental rates. It did not take long for him and his co-founders to bear a solution. This was to create an online platform that connects venues with customers in a few clicks of a button. 

After the arduous process of getting the start-up off the ground, Rica launched Venuerific as Singapore’s premier events venue marketplace. It eventually expanded to four more countries in South East Asia. 

At the same time, CEO Ricardo Sentosa never abandoned his entrepreneurial spirit. He has since spearheaded ventures such as Aemorph, Play2Earn Expo Asia, and Play It Forward DAO. Ricardo also serves as a mentor, director, and ambassador for businesses such as Brinc.io, Leonie Hill AI, and the Asia Blockchain Association, respectively.
