You can be among supportive friends and community.
As a solopreneur, you are the Chief Everything Officer — the marketer, the salesperson, the receptionist, the customer service rep, the bookkeeper, the office manager, and so many other things.
Decisions are often made alone, with no one on the same wavelength to really talk it through with, and the whole business shuts down when you're tired, sick, or just need a day off.
Systems and structures are no longer tools of big companies. 27Gems makes them affordable for solopreneurs.
27Gems is founded by Jason Shong, a Chartered Accountant with two decades of experience across multinational corporations and startups, public agencies and private companies, local and foreign commerce. For the past ten years he has also worked alongside freelance, unskilled-labor, and single-parent communities. He believes more people will need to become solopreneurs to survive, and that they'll do better at it with friends and a shared, supportive community.
Why 27Gems?
I think it is human to appreciate beauty, and gems are beautiful. So I decided to give everything we host a gem name. But why 27? It's just a personal quirk. Will we reach 27 gems?
