Becs Beslee
It’s incredibly rare that you come across someone as driven, determined and business savvy as Alyssa - especially so early in their career. She has an "above and beyond" mentality; approaching every task with excellence and maintaining consistency in her work and attitude always. Her energy and enthusiasm for people is infectious, and she played a highly valuable part in helping me build and shape the inclusive and people focused culture we were growing as we hired more people at BIZZBY. She is fearlessly herself and her kind nature and warm, engaging character allowed her to build long-lasting, authentic relationships across the team which I believe has played a significant role in her personal success and contribution to the business. I was particularly impressed by Alyssa's ability to handle even the toughest challenges, especially when building the supplier side for BIZZBY. She cared passionately for both the people that were joining the supply side and the projects at hand handling many demands superbly and always putting the business first. I can say with total conviction she is one of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of working with - a true all-rounder and any company would be lucky to have her in their team! I hope one day we can work together again!

Our focus is to create and maintain a full-service pet platform; from a wearable hardware device to track the animal’s vital signs and activity levels, to an AI-driven ecosystem and booking portal to organise anything the animal might require.Along with our commitment to improving our relationship with our pets, it is equally important for us to improve the overall experience of connecting the very best pet service providers with customers in need.MyPetGo is dedicated to creating new ways to care for our pets, while harnessing everything technology has to offer in order to give them a voice. For a long time there has been a disconnect between the natural and technological worlds. It is our mission to bridge this gap by creating a two-way dialogue between animals and humans.

Our desire to innovate and challenge human problems enabled us to form a company that aims to create sustainable ventures that coexist with the world around us. We call this a future-builder, similar to a venture builder but with the focus on organic growth. Our experienced team explores new horizons, self-ideates compelling products and has the expertise to plan, launch and scale each venture we decide to build, without the need for constant fundraising and exaggerated valuations.We’re currently located in both Singapore and Vietnam, but we plan to have an expansive reach across the entire region. We are largely sector agnostic, focusing on pet-tech, hard-tech, travel-tech, health & wellness, clean-tech, and fin-tech but all of our internally built ventures will follow our future-building methodology and will be closely aligned with our core values and drive for social impact.While we plan to launch a handful of exciting ventures in the coming years, we will also actively back entrepreneurs with great original ideas that lack the funds, experience, or infrastructure to make their idea a reality. This could be on a growth consultancy basis, similar to an incubator, or through a more strategic styled partnership. If the synergy is the right fit and we are moved by a particular business idea, we may also offer financial support and lead a round.Our current venture focus is in the pet-tech sector, with an app and hardware coming out in early 2021 under the name MyPetGo.

Here at Lemon One, we believe that high-quality images have the power to disrupt the online market. Whether used in real estate, hotels, or food delivery services, appealing photos improve the viewer’s experience and increase online sales across all industries. Our mission is to create a platform that benefits both companies and photographers. As one of the leading companies in the European photo industry, we take advantage of an extensive network of professionals and employ intelligent processes to effectively match companies and photographers. For the businesses, this means an incredibly convenient way of booking photo shoots. For the photographers, it’s a way of filling their time capacities with additional offers. This results in more time for the photographers to focus on their passion and it allows companies to work on their core business, booking the visual content on-demand.In addition, we now offer advanced image analytics on things such as which types of photos work best for certain demographics, optimum number of pictures, subject matter, etc. We take care of the implementation and setting up of A/B testing, giving you clear data on what works best.Partners include Cushman & Wakefield, JLL, Eastdil, Treatwell, Deliveroo, WeWork, WunderFlats, booking.com, Sotheby's, Pizza Hut, and Engel & Völkers, among many, many more.
