Students run it
We are undergraduates too. We have just already started, and everything the club offers is what we would have wanted on our own day one.

About Apex Venture Club
We are a student-led club for undergraduates who would rather own something than queue for another internship. Members register a real business, learn the one skill that keeps it alive, and start trading while they are still studying, with mentors, an office and a network already behind them.
What we stand for
Ownership, not another line on a CV
Three things hold the club together. They are why members stay after the first meeting, and why this is not a society that runs events and stops there.
02
You own what you build
Your business is registered in your name. It stays yours when you graduate, when you take a job, and after you leave that job.
03
Nobody starts from nothing
You plug into 25 years of licences, vendors, offices and accreditation that already exist through Apex, the company we partner with.
How it works
Something you own, and a way to earn from it
Membership rests on three things that work together: a business in your name, the skill that keeps it alive, and something you can sell from day one.
Pillar 01
Own something real
- A sole proprietorship takes an afternoon on SingPass. No licence needed to start.
- A sales and marketing model means no inventory, no loans and no liability that follows you home.
- Register under our co-working space for free, or use your home address instead.
If it turns out not to be for you, closing it is as straightforward as opening it was.
Pillar 02
Learn to sell
You can have the most genius idea, but how are you going to get your first customer? Benson Mah
- WSQ certified sales training through ClickAcademy, SSG-funded.
- Mentors who have built businesses, not classroom theory.
- Networking events where you meet potential buyers in person.
Pillar 03
Earn from day one
You do not need a product of your own to start. Members earn by selling services Apex already delivers — AI tools, grant applications, training, education, manpower and branding.
Got your own idea instead? Small businesses can have a large part of their marketing spend covered by government grants. Almost nobody our age knows that, and we apply together.
What you get access to
The resources behind you
None of this is theory you read. It is rooms you sit in, people you meet, and a group that has your back while you figure it out.
Mentors
People running real companies, in rooms small enough that you can actually ask them things.
Networking
Internal and international events. The owners in those rooms are often a member's first customer.
Trips
We travel to work, not to sightsee. Regional conventions and meetings, with time around them.
Office space
Free use of our co-working space, and a business address you can register under.
The roadmap
Start in Singapore. Expand when you are ready.
No pressure on the timeline. Most members never leave stage one, and stage one alone is worth doing.
