Making Dream Happen: Mentorship 2025 Demo Day

The first step in making any dream come true is to start. And in the journey of entrepreneurship, one of the most essential skills is learning how to pitch your vision.

On September 13, we concluded the Mentorship 2025 Program, co-hosted by Macao Startup Club (MSC) and the France Macau Chamber of Commerce (FMCC). Over the past months, our mentees have worked closely with mentors, refining their business models, sharpening their ideas, and preparing to share them with the world.

A Heartfelt thank you to all our mentors for guiding this journey

📌 FMCC representative Ada Lo shared a message from Rutger Verschuren :

This program is not only beneficial to mentees but also to mentors — a true two-way learning experience across generations.

📌 Our President James Si Tou reflected:

This journey has been about more than business models or pitch decks. It has been about growth, collaboration, and learning to think like entrepreneurs.

 The mentoring sessions gave us a powerful reminder of what true management thinking means — lessons we will carry forward in preparing the future of Macao Startup Club.

🚀 Special highlight: MakerMods are now in San Francisco pitching to VCs — we can’t wait for their good news!
