Cheng Wei Ng
Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ngchengwei/
Legal Counsel at SEGNEL
Entrepreneur, lawyer, and tech geek. At the age of 17, Cheng Wei began a decade-long menteeship with a venture capitalist, which led to him working a motley array of roles at various start-ups – including fund-raising, artiste management, project management and urban photography – before founding his first start-up, 151 Project, more than 7 years ago.
Cheng Wei graduated from the Singapore Management University’s School of Law and went on to practise at Allen & Gledhill. Alas, the bite of the start-up bug was incurable and Cheng Wei later left legal practice for a stint at Massive Collective – then the largest nightlife group in Singapore – heading the legal, accounts, human-resources and tech departments of the group.
Currently, Cheng Wei runs his own corporate services firm, CorpZap, assisting several hundred start-ups in the region with their business and legal needs.
