This event is also supported by brioHR.
brioHR is Southeast Asia’s leading all-in-one HRMS and payroll platform, purpose-built for ambitious startups and scale-ups.
A lot of founders plan to “handle HR later” and run everything manually. It works…until it doesn’t. The admin quietly builds up, talent feels the drag, and scaling gets harder.
We make sure your hiring, onboarding, and all your people processes work right from the start.
Our mission: connect business goals with human potential through seamless recruitment, onboarding, payroll, performance, and engagement tools, all localized for SEA compliance. Built by people managers and founders who’ve lived the pain, we deliver both care and real impact.
Stop drowning in admin. Start building winning teams. Let’s go Further, Together.
