Deel Founders Table | Singapore Edition

A Thursday morning at Mandala Club with no keynote, no pitch deck and no stage — Deel's Founders Table is built as conversation and nothing else. It runs 9–11.30am on 5 Nov 2026, and it is free to attend. The room is Singapore founders and startup leaders working on taking a business into regional markets.

Deel opens with the story of its own platform, then hands over to a fireside chat with founders who have expanded out of Singapore. From there the morning moves to the tables: peer-to-peer brainstorms running 45 minutes in total, each guided by a facilitator who has hired staff internationally.

Three topics carry the discussion — which market a company should enter next, finding talent and hiring overseas, and managing compliance, whether that means comparing EOR arrangements, contractors or setting up a local entity. Groups close the programme with a share-back of their key takeaway, and networking with food follows. Coffee and light pastries are served on arrival.

The table is hosted by Nicole Stirling, Wai-ling Ho and Tasha Yogiswara; Stirling heads Stirling Marketing, which builds APJ pipeline for B2B tech brands by running executive events. This is the Singapore instalment of a series with an earlier Kuala Lumpur edition, the Deel Scaling Table, and a Sydney table listed for the following week.
