This was one of the best experiences of my life, you won't regret applying. Had the wonderful opportunity of getting to know the other founders whilst working side by side and going through preparing for DDay, DDay and fundraising together. The mentors are amazing and their advice has been invaluable.

I was really lucky to be there to hear this in person. Listening to it again still blows me away. I'm from Singapore and I think one of the problems of my generation is that too few of us follow our hearts. Some might blame the education system, some might even blame the government.

I'm just extremely fortunate to experience life in the Valley and it opened up my mind. When doing a startup, its like a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs. Success is not overnight and probably might not even get there on the first attempt. But its speeches like this that kept the fire burning.

Heroku is awesome. Not only does it work well, it also encourages best practices.
