Mutual help network for startup alumni established

2020.05.11

Queen's College Old Boys' Association (QCOBA) today (May 11) established a mutual help network for startup alumni (startup network) to converge entrepreneurial experience and foster brotherly collaboration to give back to the alma mater.

The startup network aims to broaden the alumni connections and facilitate startup alumni across generations and professions (especially those from innovation and technology startups) to bring professional expertise and experience home. Apart from exploring business collaboration, the startup network is key to engaging brothers in sharing and exchanging views.

As entrepreneurship learning has been introduced into Secondary Three curriculum in this academic year, the school originally planned to invite startup alumni to conduct sharing with boys on their experience, including corporate management and financial planning, and advise on their creative product proposals. Although these sessions were affected amid class suspension, we have communicated with the school to proceed in the next academic year.

The Honorary Adviser of QCOBA and Co-Founder of OneDegree (first local authorised virtual general insurer), Mr Alvin KWOCK Yin-lun, is the Convenor of the startup network. We hope that the startup network may contribute to Old Boys and the alma mater to tie in with the theme "Serving QC family, our centenary duty" of QCOBA Centenary in 2020.

For Old Boys who are interested in joining the startup network, please liaise with the Secretariat (info@qcoba.hk).
