Eagles Inc
SMU Eagles Inc. is an entrepreneurial haven that builds a community of dare devils with innovation, creativity, adventure, and experience.
About Eagles Inc
SMU Eagles Inc was launched on 10 October 2015, when two alumni donors, Jeff Tung and Benjamin Twoon, presented a cheque for $1 million to Professor Gerry George, Dean of the Lee Kong Chian School of Business and formed the Passion, Action, Kickstart (P.A.K.) Fund.

As an entrepreneur, I believe that the biggest hurdle may not be funding, but rather the lack of a conducive and competitive environment to nurture entrepreneurship. From my observation, I find that many in our generation do not have a strong urge to take the road less travelled, and prefer stability. What’s worse, calculated risk-taking is not whole-heartedly championed. As a result, some exciting ideas do not have the chance to see the light of day. I hope that this Club will encourage budding entrepreneurs to take on challenges, and we are here to lend our support.
I’m a firm believer that the next wave of innovation and progress of our country will be driven by entrepreneurship; we need to embed the spirit of adventure and passion for making a difference in our youths and young adults.
The fund is an investment into the future of our students and in nurturing entrepreneurial talent in Singapore.
