MONEY FM 89.3 Interview – Joanna Teo, Managing Director of Attribute Data
How do you build a self-funded, million-dollar startup without playing the VC game?
Joanna Teo, Managing Director of Attribute Data and proud UOB FinLab Womenpreneur Alumni, took to the airwaves on MONEY FM 89.3’s Breakfast Show with Ryan Huang, Emaad Akhtar, and Audrey Siek recently to share what she learned since she started her own data intelligence agency in 2015.
In the episode titled “Mind Your Business: Why you don’t need VC money to build a million-dollar business,” Joanna challenges the common narrative that startup success is only about speed, scale, and venture capital. Instead, she makes the case that network and longevity are the real advantages.
Listen in as Joanna discusses:
- Her path from bootstrapping a profitable data agency to building a self-funded product startup.
- What true sustainable entrepreneurship looks like in Singapore’s business landscape.
- How important a network like UOB FinLab was in helping her meet mentors and like-minded individuals to kickstart and develop her business.
We are incredibly proud to see our alumni redefining success and sharing such valuable lessons with the community!
