Open Frog is an informal forum where anyone can ask and answer questions, or discuss anything related to innovation, entrepreneurship and start-ups, particularly as these topics relate to Singapore and South East Asia. Many knowledgeable people are here: please read before you write and assume good faith in the messages you exchange. Here are some DO's and DON'Ts:

1. Openfrog is all about discussion - DO please post authentic questions, or reply to ones already there in good faith. Be bold and unambiguous when you post and don't take offence if the advice you get is very direct. Again, assume good faith.

2. Please DON'T spam the list with job ads, event or product promotions, 'e-mail blasts', generic 'please tell me what you think about my startup idea', jokes, charity appeal messages or requests to invest in your business. We have a zero tolerance policy for spam - you will be banned the first time you do it without further warnings.

3. For many people this forum is a great way to meet the startup community across APAC. Please DO feel free to introduce yourself if you are new without promoting your product and we will try to help you find the people who can get you up and running quickly. There is background information about how things work in Singapore here.

Finally, please be aware that your first posting to Openfrog may be moderated to make sure you're a human being not a bot - we will try to make that happen as quickly as we can.

Open Frog is supported by JFDI.Asia - a community of mentors, investors and entrepreneurs - in Asia, for Asia.
