Dr. Leslie Teo predicts AI could turn Singapore into a builder's paradise, where 1-2-person startups can generate millions in revenue without VC funding:
"For centuries, Singapore has not been the place where you build things. We did have shipyards, we did have factories for a short while, but we are a small country. It’s hard to scale when you have physical limitations."
"My dream is AI can make Singapore a builder’s paradise. We don’t have that limitation anymore."
"We are very good at getting the multinational to come here to build the sales force, to build the corporate structure, but we don’t build the product here. I look at Silicon Valley somewhat envious. You guys build companies, you build things that don’t exist."
"Today we have one, two-person companies. They don’t need VC funding. They are hitting million-dollar revenues. AI is making this possible."
