The concept of growth hacking originated in Silicon Valley. When we look at startups in ASEAN, they need to create their unique model and playbook for growth hacking since many things that worked in the West would only sometimes work in the East.

Insuretech Insights from Singapore Fintech Festival 2022
What key trends are changing Asia's insurance, pensions, and wealth management industries? And how can companies best capture growth?
These topics were discussed at the recent Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF).

SFF attracted 62,000 participants from over 115 countries—the largest SFF gathering ever. It featured 850 speakers, 570 exhibitors, 25 country pavilions, and over 4,000 meetings through the business matching platform.
Diversity within the Board and among entrepreneurs
Diversity and inclusion are topics close to our values. To further this, we are proud to partner with Russell Reynolds Associates, the Singapore Fintech Association, to research this important initiative. Our whitepaper, 'Taking Stock & Looking Ahead: Gender Diversity in Southeast Asia’s FinTech Landscape,' examines diversity from three perspectives: board representation, Investor landscape, and Founders. Both qualitative and quantitative data support the report, and we are excited to take the first step on this path.
