All young companies wish to grow into corporate success machines eventually 🏢⚙️🤓


With it comes a lot more resources to tackle everything from research, product development, communications, and operations.


These resources also allow them to specialise. Expertise in each given role, to carry out a particular task to its best ability.


What you get is a juggernaut, cogs in a well-oiled machine that keeps the engine humming, and going at speed in the direction of the executive team ⏩⏩⏩


But what corporations struggle with is precisely what start-ups excel at!


Operating at the bleeding edge requires deftness, being able to switch direction at a moment's notice, and make decisions at sufficient speed.


Traditionally, start ups are known to be nimble, quick, and agile 🐈 😼
Ever-ready to meet the needs of its market and customers.


A flatter hierarchy also allows decisions to be made a lot faster! So you're looking to 'get things done', with less layers of management, and interference.


But alas, the growing pains stage of a start-up requires specializing, and the days of the generalist founding team gets numbered. Leadership being funneled off into their specific departments to be built up.


So if start-ups want to become corporations eventually, what should corporations take away from start-ups?


Stay tuned as we explore how large organisations can learn a thing or two from budding young companies, of which ironically, they were fully on top of when just starting out ⛰️

Click The mission? Further integrate the two most populous continents when it comes to economic upside and riding the waves of expansion! 🌊

The Africa Singapore Business Forum 2023 was a great teaser of what can be 🌍 🇸🇬

When titans in Africa and Asia come together and seek out win-win outcomes, nothing is impossible!

A big takeaway was how it was SO important to have local partners provide the required local insight AND representative capital that helps signal to the markets there is indeed grassroots confidence in the opportunities.

It's all about confidence building.

Whether in emerging or frontier Africa-Asia.

And how we circle back to the concepts of gateways.

Where Singapore sits as a gateway into South-East Asia and the general Asia-Pacific region. And how this is developing for similar African counterparts.

There's a lot more to come when we connect these gateways and nodes directly, and how we're dependent on people themselves to reach out and make these connections ➡️ ⬅️

Are you in the ESG, Impact, or Tech space and resonate with this Africa-Asia collab?

Time to connect the people, talent, and capital and see these continents thrive 🌻
