A Coffee Lover's Cause feat. Keith Tan: Building Singapore's first robotic barista, why AI will not replace the craftsmen and overcoming the loneliness of entrepreneurship.

Update: 2023-11-08

Description

It's bean a while and we're back with the fifth episode of The Hypodthetical! Join me as I sit down with Keith, coffee lover, digital evangelist and the creator of Ella.

We dive into Keith's first foray outside of the financial industry, knee-deep into Singapore's F&B scene. Find out how his first cafe location serendipitously led to the creation of Ella, Singapore's first robotic barista. We'll also talk about the challenges of hiring talent for startups in Singapore and the surprising comfort a cup of coffee can bring.

A chat that felt like gloved hands holding onto a hot cup of cocoa in winter, I hope you'll enjoy our conversation as much as we did recording it.
