BENJAMIN HAN & DANIEL LIM CO-FOUNDERS, REEBONZ PTE LTD
Benjamin Han and Daniel Lim began their foray into business dealing with American novelty products in 2005. They had their first taste of e-commerce when Zuunbo.com was launched in 2007, while they were still studying for their Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate at the National University of Singapore and Business Management at the Singapore Management University respectively. Zuunbo.com was a website that featured a new item for sale each day at a huge discount. Zunnbo.com gained success and was awarded seed funding by the Singapore Management University (SMU) Business Innovation Generator, which manages the Entrepreneurial Talent Development Fund together with Spring Singapore for investing in promising business proposals. Drawing from their early business experiences, Benjamin and Daniel conducted market research into consumers’ buying patterns online, which eventually sparked off the idea of Reebonz. They wasted no time in proposing the idea of introducing the flash sale concept to the Asian market with Samuel. In March 2009, together with other founding members, Reebonz was launched and has steadily expanded into 8 countries within Asia Pacific. With a blooming career and a successful business in his twenties, Benjamin believes in continuous learning, adapting and improving from every challenge he meets. While Daniel aptly believes that his lord Jesus Christ has been his wisdom and guidance throughout this amazing journey.
