SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business alumna and co-founder of Singapore-based mentorship software startup Protégé Stephenie Pang was featured in an article. Protégé, which was founded by Stephenie and her school-mate Sharon Yeo, is launching an online community website, called TalentTribe Asia, next month. The portal will help connect millennials and employers, offering perspectives on workplace cultures and a sneak peek into a day of the work lives of employers across job functions. Stephenie said that millennials prefer having close contact and face-to-face interaction, such as through mentorship. She added that career talks and fairs are passé these days. Protégé began as a software service for enterprises to start, manage and measure their mentorship programmes. Currently being bootstrapped by its founders, the startup also secured seed funding of S$50,000 from SPRING Singapore and about $15,000 through competitions. Protégé’s membership software offers a mobile application for mentors and mentees to interact, and a web dashboard for programme managers to analyse the progress of mentorship programmes.
