Originally from Singapore and having grown up in The Netherlands, Singapore, and in Hong Kong, Weilyn is second year student concentrating in Economics and minoring in Computer Science at Princeton University. She has experience in marketing, business strategy, venture capital, and Gen Z consulting. Most recently she worked as an associate conducting due diligence and finding deal flows at a late stage VC firm.

She is passionate about female entrepreneurship which led to me to create The Entrepre女ers Network, is a media network aimed at creating communities through conversations. Since then, Weilyn and her co-founder have interviewed 80+ female founders, built a global team of 20+ Gen Zs, and have launched Count Her In, a podcast for and by Gen Z female entrepreneurs, and Kinda All Good, a podcast for untapped conversations. They are currently working on developing 7 more podcast shows and releases will happen on a rolling basis till early 2022. The Entrepre女ers Network has a global reach of 20K+ and has been featured on Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch, AP News, and CNBC.

On campus, Weilyn is the director of Princeton Women in Entrepreneurship, co-created TigerVentures Unfiltered, a media network focused on college entrepreneurs, and is conducting research in both entrepreneurship and politics. Her passion for gratitude and wellbeing drove the creation of Thankful Thursdays, a 36 week gratitude program implemented in schools and businesses around Southeast Asia. After conducting her own research in prosocial behaviors and behavioral economics at Harvard Medical School, she hopes to learn more about the intersections of gratitude and wellbeing with entrepreneurship and venture capital.

Gratitude, empathy, and curiosity are her leading principles in all my projects, leadership roles, and relationships. Her international upbringing and global perspective allows her to develop intimate and authentic relationships through thought-provoking questions and conversations. One of her favorite questions to ask people is: What is something you love about yourself today?

Why did you wait before, and why are you not waiting anymore?

I waited before because I thought that I needed perfection. Whether it was a perfect time or perfect idea, I thought I needed perfection to be successful.

I am no longer waiting because I realized there’s no better time to start than now. Waiting for perfection would mean waiting for the impossible!
