Global Business Club

Global Business Club- Scam or Opportunity?

After 2 weeks for networking, I managed to contact one of the members of the Global Business Club, and he was happy to share with me more about the club. We met at Starbucks first, when he shared about his experiences.

A few points I noted:

- GBC has 4 physical offices in Singapore CBD area
- There are estimated 14 companies under the club, ranging from F&B to investments to fashion, even magic and events companies
- They have monthly events (on quite a grand scale too)
- Their members have discounts from the merchants under GBC (somewhat like mastercard)

Afterwards, I was brought to this auditorium (located about 3mins walk from Raffles Place MRT Station) along boat quay. Quite impressive and neat. And he claims that they can seat over 200 people.

In their seminar they mentioned about two companies and two countries that they are venturing into:

- Heulab (Singapore Tech company)
- TMD (China Tech Company)
- Bhutan
- Myanmar

All in all it seems that they too have quite the media presence, appearing on Straits Times, newpaper etc.

Will research on the 4 topics above before posting more comments.

Cheers!
