Years in the industry taught Vernon one thing: networking has not kept up with the times.
Not like dating, where apps like Hinge and Tinder help you find The One in minutes. Or ride-hailing, where Grab and Gojek give you options, ratings, and a ride with just one swipe.
But business networking? We’re still stuck with cold LinkedIn DMs and mass email invites. Too often, there’s no vetting at all…leaving you to wade through sales pitches and awkward mismatches.



Over the years, Vernon has built a community that thrives on collaboration, transparency, and technology. We call it Oasis, a place where business opportunities and like-minded partners come together, even when the world feels like a desert.

Oasis curates a trusted circle of founders, investors, and builders who believe in growing together, not salespeople competing for attention.

Every connection in Oasis is intentional, designed to spark ideas, collaborations, and opportunities that actually move the needle.

Oasis uses smart matching to connect you with potential collaborators who share your goals.
