Deel Founders Table | Singapore Edition

Mandala Club, Singapore
In person

Singapore scales global. Let’s work out how. Your product is ready to go regional. Your hiring, payroll and compliance setup may not be. Every founder hits that gap, and most work through it alone. Which market next? How do you hire your first team abroad? How do you stay compliant without slowing down? You’re probably not the only one stuck on these questions, and the founders at your table likely are too. On Thursday 5 November, we’re bringing together Singapore’s founders and startup leaders for a focused morning with peers facing the same challenges. No keynotes, no pitch deck. Just honest conversations, a fireside chat with founders who’ve scaled, and roundtables where you leave with a clearer plan and new people to call. Agenda 9:00–9:15 | Arrival + coffee + light pastries 9:15–9:30 | Deel intro: our story and our platform 9:30–10:00 | Fireside chat with founders scaling from Singapore 10–10:45 | Peer-to-peer table brainstorms (45 minutes) 10:45–11:00 | Share-back and key takeaway 11:00 onwards | Networking and food Rotating table brainstorms Each table rotates through all three topics, spending about 15 minutes on each, led by a facilitator who has hired globally from both sides: What market should we go into next? How do we find talent and hire internationally? How do we manage compliance? EOR vs. contractors vs. setting up an entity Where and when 📍 Where: The Penthouse, Mandala Club 🗓️ When: Thursday 5 November 2026 🕒 Time: 9:00am - 11:30am Request your seat. Places are limited to keep the conversation small. About Deel Deel helps 40,000+ companies, including Nike, OpenAI and Klarna, hire, manage and pay anyone, anywhere. One platform covers payroll, HR, benefits and compliance across 150+ countries.

Meta's Muse is now live in Singapore. Muse launched in the US on 8 September and went to No. 1 on the US App Store within two weeks. As of 28 October, it is available here on iOS, Android and muse.ai, with early local partners including Shopee, Grab, Singapore Airlines, Agoda, ShopBack, Klook, Trip.com and Lazada. A chatbot answers. An agent acts. Muse reads your email, compares prices, plans the trip, fills in the form and checks out, then comes back to you only when it needs a decision. So how do you set it up well? What is worth handing over first? And what does it mean for those of us building and selling in Singapore? This is our first Muse meetup, a community session hosted by OpenBuilder for builders, founders, professionals and anyone curious about personal AI agents. Bring your phone. We will set Muse up together, in the room. What we will cover Muse in ten minutes: how it works, how it keeps your data safe, and what it cannot do yet Live setup: connect your first apps and set approvals the right way Local connectors: what is live today and what is still rolling out Five starter use cases worth handing over in your first week What it means for business when your customers send an agent to compare, book and buy Open floor: experiments, wins and questions from the room Who should come Builders, founders and developers exploring personal agents Sales, marketing and operations professionals who want hours back in their week Business owners preparing for customers who shop through agents Anyone who has downloaded Muse and wants to get more out of it Before you come Download Muse from the App Store or Google Play, or go to muse.ai.
