Our Story

Who Are We?

Started in 2023, NextBigThing begun as a small interest group in Hwa Chong Institution.

In 2025, it grew to become an independent youth community, run by students younger than 20.

We are focussed on expanding to work with angel investors, startup incubators, MNCs and IHLs to chase our vision of providing resources for youth to build real businesses!
