Going Global From Day One
Elephants in Singapore Chapter 01
A new series of conversations exploring modern business growth, global expansion, and the realities behind building beyond borders.
Going global is exciting but rarely frictionless.
Beyond new markets and growth opportunities lie the real operational questions founders and operators often underestimate: banking, FX, hiring, compliance, legal structures, and the hidden complexity of scaling across borders.
Leaving Singapore brings together founders, operators, and industry experts for an honest conversation about what international expansion actually costs and what businesses need to consider before making the leap.
Expect candid founder stories, operator-led discussions, practical workshops, and meaningful conversations with people who have navigated the journey themselves.
