Vanessa Ng

Co-Founder at Up and Out

Having gone through the local sex-education curriculum, Vanessa understands how inadequate it is in preparing youths for relationships (romantic, platonic, hierarchical etc) in real life. She has first hand experience with bad communication, awkward relationship fails, and she has heard too many stories of ignorance gone wrong. Ignorance often becomes vulnerability to emotional and physical abuse. Armed with her experience at startups in New York City and Singapore, Vanessa co-founded UpandOut as she believes that community movements are critical for progress.
