Our first post-hiatus episode features a sit down with Co-Founder and CEO of Mr Yum, Kim Teo. Mr Yum is a start up focussed on showing beautiful mobile menus married with the ability to order and pay through a QR code. QR codes have become integral with everyday life during the era of COVID-19, and there aren’t many more recognisable than Mr Yum. We chat with Kim about her experiences navigating the tech startup scene, and her key motivations in paving a new narrative on gender norms for the Asian identity.
