SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business alumnus Jamon Mok was featured in an article where he shared the genesis of his company, Backstreet Academy, a start-up which curates localised experiences, tours and activities - mainly traditional skills such as sculpting and fishing. More than just a money-making venture, however, the peer-to-peer platform sets out to help villagers in developing countries leverage on their skills to earn a living and become entrepreneurs. Mr Mok said that he was inspired to come up with such a business model having participated in many overseas community projects when he was an undergraduate at SMU.
