The Taipan Alliance

The ASEAN region is a unique melting point of cultural and economic diversity in Asia. China and India with their tiger economies have traditionally been in focus with investors and entrepreneurs alike, but ASEAN with combined GDP of almost USD 3.1 trillion is fast gaining ground. As a standalone country, it would rank as the 5th largest economy in the world with home to over 662 million people. However, while the opportunity remains attractive, the region has its fair share of challenges for prospective suitors – ASEAN is not a monolithic market but instead consists of diverse cultures, religions, local preferences, and economic disparity. For Asia to produce more unicorns, ASEAN entrepreneurs will have to look beyond their national boundaries and create products and services - which transcend consumer needs across this diverse region.

We focus on disruptive, innovative high-growth companies, and help entrepreneurs across Asia scale up their businesses ideas by accelerating execution and leveraging our strong network of industry advisors, and investment partners. We are sector agnostic and our alliance is evergrowing.

We believe that the best innovation ecosystems don't occur by chance – they are created by bringing together knowledge (access to learning), collaboration (catalyst platforms for communication, critical and diverse thinking, experience sharing, and new resources), and realizing synergies (with potential customers, investors, and validators for commercialization). We provide aspiring and high-potential startups and scaleups alike, the access to these three key elements to catalyze research & development, collaboration, rapid market validation, and capital access in short cycle times.

• We assist start & scaleups with cross-border relationships across the ASEAN region thereby allowing them to reach beyond the borders of their home country and achieve maximum market penetration and growth.
