Scale Faster, Exit Bigger: The Hong Kong Formula
Hong Kong Science & Technology Park in conjunction with Scalerr Presents:
How venture-backed companies use Hong Kong to hit $1M ARR, unlock North Asia's wealth, and position for strategic exits
Most founders think you need Silicon Valley to build a billion-dollar company. Prashant Agarwal proved them wrong - he deliberately moved his company FROM the Philippines TO Hong Kong and took it all the way to NASDAQ.
In this 90-minute masterclass, you'll learn the exact playbook that venture-backed companies use to turn Hong Kong into their unfair advantage:
✅ The 90-Day Commercial Launch How to hit $1M ARR in Hong Kong without burning runway - who to hire first, which customers convert fastest, and how to activate enterprise partnerships that matter
✅ The Fundraising Advantage Why Hong Kong gives you access to both Western VCs and Asian strategic capital - and how to position your company for Series A+ rounds that US-only competitors can't access
✅ The North Asia Gateway How Hong Kong unlocks access to the world's wealthiest Asian economies - Mainland China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan represent 5 of the top 20 global economies. Learn the exact playbook for penetrating these high-value markets from your Hong Kong base.
✅ The Exit Blueprint Prashant's playbook from market entry to NASDAQ - why Hong Kong positioned Money Hero for a strategic exit, what acquirers and public markets look for, and how to build a company that scales AND sells
✅ The Talent Arbitrage How to build world-class commercial teams in Hong Kong - compensation benchmarks, hiring strategies, and why top North Asian talent is choosing Hong Kong for their next move
This isn't theory. This is pattern recognition from 500+ venture-backed companies.
