But what if there’s an app specially designed to help you spend your free time more intentionally and meaningfully? On Good Tech, Lynlee Foo speaks to Sindhu Mohan (NUS BBA alumna, 2025) and Vishnu Sundaresan (NUS Computer Science alumnus, 2024), Co-Founders of Snowball to learn more about a very different kind of social media that rewards you for living more offline.
Can AI make high-quality academic support more accessible and empower students to learn better, not just faster? Two graduates from the National University of Singapore saw an opportunity to do that. On Good Tech, Lynlee Foo speaks to Andre Lim and Jed Ng, co-founders of Pallo (Formally called Check) , an AI-powered tool developed to offer hyper-personalised academic support for students from secondary school to junior college.

In 2014, Janson Seah took up a manager role at a bar, where he was given the opportunity to lead the revitalization of the business. During his time there, his biggest challenge was managing shift workers due to the lack of effective tools. Bent on fixing this problem, he brought together a team of problem solvers, which were none other than his best buddies – Jeremy Hon, Lee Kai Yi, and Eugene Ng – whilst in the Bay Area on the NUS Overseas Colleges program. Together, they worked on a school project which eventually evolved into StaffAny – a software-as-a-service (SAAS) innovation that now helps businesses manage their workforce with ease.
Workforce management start-up StaffAny has raised US$3.4 million (S$4.6 million) in a Series A funding round led by GGV Capital, a global venture capital firm with US$9.2 billion in assets under management. Founded by a team of alumni from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the NUS Overseas Colleges programme, StaffAny helps businesses with a blue-collar workforce to optimise their staff scheduling, time-tracking and end-of-month time sheet consolidation.
