June 2021 Edition (#03)
 
Dear <<First Name>>,

We can’t believe it’s halfway through 2021 already and we are excited to welcome Janice Wong as our first food and beverage investment in Singapore. Janice Wong is a renowned and multi-award-winning Singaporean celebrity chef. She started her first dessert restaurant 2am:dessertbar in 2007 and later in 2014, the Janice Wong Singapore brand was formally established to market a wide range of confectionery creations.
