ANNA VANESSA HAOTANTO
In 2018, before Singapore legalised elective egg freezing for women aged 21 to 38, serial entrepreneur Anna Vanessa Haotanto flew to Malaysia to harvest and store her eggs. Two years later, she detailed her experience in an 8,000-word article. The story went viral and planted the seed for her startup Zora Health, an innovative digital platform that simplifies fertility care and makes it more efficient and cost-effective.
"Zora Health is more than just a venture for me; it's a deeply personal mission," Anna elaborates. "Our mission is to build a comprehensive ecosystem of healthcare providers and employers, and an integrated platform that provides trusted resources and financing options. We are already experiencing strong demand, as evidenced by our waitlist of over 128 women in the first launch week."
These women are in good hands. Anna counts over 15 years of experience building and scaling technology startups and international restaurant brands. She founded Gourmet Food Holdings (Mrs Pho, Tsuta, Burgs and Vanda) as well as The New Savvy, a financial literacy platform for women. She was also formerly the managing partner of ABZD Capital and is an active angel investor with more than 50 companies. A sought-after key opinion leader, Anna has spoken extensively at conferences, on TV and as a podcast host. Passionate about finance and technology and their abilities to impact lives at scale, Anna contributes to a number of think-tanks and non-profits, including the Singapore FinTech Association, the SMU Women Alumni and TiE Singapore.
Echoing this relentless pursuit of impact is the Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono A523, a collaboration between Bell & Ross and Alpine that is equipped with the self-winding mechanical BR CAL.326 calibre. "I can see myself wearing this with everything. It's a statement piece and not very dainty, which suits me," says the go-getter.
