Keith Tan is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Crown Digital, a Robotics and Coffee start-up solving key challenges in the F&B industry.Previously from the wealth management industry, Keith was inspired to build a business of his own, and left his job at the age of 35 to embark on his entrepreneurial journey with coffee. Crown Coffee’s first outlet was opened in 2016. Keith was passionate about coffee, the craft and his customers, but soon realised that it was hard to scale up the business due to a shortage of skilled labour, high rental costs and a challenge in maintaining consistent quality. This led Keith to think out of the box, seeking ways to infuse science and technology into the art of coffee making.The inspiration for a robotic barista came about after Keith tested a robot arm picking up and serving croissants to guests at a corporate innovation center. This sparked an eureka moment that led him to create his very own robotic barista, after learning robotics from scratch. Eventually hiring his own team of software developers, Keith took all of his operations in-house and Crown Digital was born in 2018, with the purpose of delivering autonomous, unmanned retail solutions that tackle manpower challenges and optimise F&B operations.If you are wondering about why the name ELLA, it came about when he came across Rihanna's hit song ‘Umbrella’ came over the speakers and the stars aligned – he knew instantly that Ella was the perfect name for his robot barista!---This episode is brought to you by EPOS ADAPT 260.

Raphael Ng is an ex-ballerino who had spent decades dancing before making the life-changing decision to venture into the world of hedge funds. The dancer has come a long way to become a fund manager at Salzworth Asset Management.Born to professional dancers, Raphael started taking ballet lessons at the young age of four and eventually extended to various forms of dancing like Chinese Dance and Contemporary Dance till he was 27. Raphael then achieved Distinctions in his Royal Academy of Dance ballet examinations. He clinched top places in world competitions like the International Dance Competition in Bolzano, Italy, and the Barcelona Dance Grand Prix during his time in a contemporary dance group back in university.Upon spending a few years in top banking and fintech firms such as Credit Suisse and Stashaway, he observed a gap in the market for a currency-focused fund that can serve as a bedrock in one’s portfolio. Believing that investors should be aware of how FX can serve as a consistent and reliable source of returns, he eventually joined Salzworth. He co-founded the Global Currency Fund with like-minded individuals Ashli Koe and Yap Zhi Xin in 2019.The fund has since achieved strong performance and has come out top in January and February 2022 globally, as well as the Top 10 currency fund in 2021, according to BarclayHedge, a hedge fund database. The fund has also received the Singapore Young Entrepreneurs Award 2021 (SYEA) in the Innovative Industrialisation category.Despite taking a backseat in performing, Raphael found a different way to contribute to the dance scene. His passion for dance still eventually led him to found Supertone. This company offers chic and comfortable dancewear and Jete Studios, a ballet school for children, to nurture the next generation of ballet dancers.---This episode is brought to you by Basecamp.
