About The Raffles Crew
The Raffles Crew is a business community for those navigating complex careers, building something new, or seeking purpose in their next move. It is a space for founders, operators, and investors to connect with kindness, listen with care, and grow through shared experience.
​
We are not here to sell or compete. We gather around the belief that support, generosity, and honest dialogue make us better professionals and people. Whether you are a Seeker in transition, a Founder with big ideas, a Funder with long term vision, or a corporate leader with leadership and business impact goals, there is a place for you here.
​
Our coffees, panels, and workshops are curated to be welcoming and impactful. Membership is free. Our only ask is that you come with integrity, openness, and a willingness to support others.
Our Background
The Raffles Crew was founded by Simon J and shaped by a small group of peers who wanted to build a better business community. One that reflects values rather than status and kindness over ego.
​
From its start in Singapore, it has grown organically through resonance and trust. Today, we operate across Southeast Asia with new chapters emerging in Jakarta and Hong Kong. We continue to grow not by promotion or sales but through word of mouth and shared values.
​
We are intentionally open and inclusive. Our community includes operators of public companies, early stage founders, investors, and professionals who want to engage thoughtfully in their work and lives. We welcome everyone who leads with curiosity and gives before asking.
