How does it work? 

Every Founders Roundtable cohort admits up to 10 founders. In each meeting, one participating founder will post one stumbling block (problem) he or she needs help on. Other founders can raise related questions. All will join forces to work out the solution(s) starting with "If I were you, I would". Each time one investor will be invited as guest to join in. All participants sign a NDA. Founders Roundtable takes place one or two times every month, typically over lunch hours at a convenient co-working place, until each participating founder receives at least one turn to post his or her problem.

1) Allen Yeung, former Government CIO, HKSAR and cofounder of HKBAN
