About

Community First, Company Second

Founded in 2006, E27 is a community for passionate individuals with fresh, visionary mindsets on the Asian consumer web/mobile industry. Based in Singapore, we have a regional outlook and are committed to growing the industry through support for entrepreneurship and specialized events with corporate and public organizations.
Our Grassroots Culture

The E27 community believes in a bottom-up grassroots organization structure for our media content generation and specialized events. E27 is proud to have pioneered the “unconference” event concept in 2006 which reverses the traditional “conference” format of “speaker-first” by having an “audience-first” approach that encourages and ensures open dialogue among all event attendees. In addition, we contribute
actively to other similar events in Asia such as Barcamp and OpenWebAsia. We welcome volunteers anytime (signup link) to suggest new ideas or help out at our events.
History: Why “e27??

All quirky names have equally quirky back-stories. = )
The founders of e27 paid too much attention to the interesting correlation of hot Web 2.0 startups such as Google, Youtube and Facebook, all of which had founders below 27 years old. Some Silicon Valley venture capitalist even used this as an investment philosophy as they believed the new models of web
businesses were best concocted by the “web generation” who spent their formative years online and were unaffected by traditional ways of business. Today, we have retained the “e27” branding more as a signature of our emphasis on freshness and ingenuity of ideas, rather than a restrictive age limit. No human being, regardless of age, race, gender are barred from the doors of innovation.”
