About this episode

In today's episode, we have Yvonne Yeo and Clowie Tan the co-founders of Relogo. They first started offering relocation services and they've recently launched a search platform to allow users to view available units from various coliving brands.

One of the things that I've noticed with our guests here on Chief Best Friends, is that the business that co-founders choose to build is so unique to them.

Clowie was one of the founders who started Chope, a well-known table booking platform here in Asia, while Yvonne led operations and expansion for one of the premier coworking spaces here in Singapore called The Great Room.

In their case, Relogo was something that could only come out from their unique experience and background. They're coming onto the show today to share how that journey began. And how they've organically expanded their business offering to keep up with a constantly changing landscape, especially in the midst of a global pandemic.
