Recently I went to (Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) which is a 3 days conference where some of the brightest minds from around the world come together to showcase ideas and technologies, that have the power to reshape our world. During the conference I talked with hundreds of businesses and inspiring individuals, exchanging ideas and building connections. I connected with people that I feel a partnership that might be a good fit and a shared enthusiasm for collaboration and growth in deep tech, spanning sectors such as manufacturing, urban solutions, health, and digital services. Other than the great connections, something I found interesting was the AI-driven summaries of the presentations, and the AI bots you can ask about insights into the presentations or follow up topical questions. ------------------ Lately, I’ve been exploring the APAC market, talking with international investors and business founders to find out more about different business ecosystems.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Richard Lochhead, Scottish Government Minister for Business, Trade & Investment, at the exciting launch of the Techscaler delegation in #Singapore as part of a UK trade mission. It was great to talk about the international expansion opportunities in the APAC market and having conversations with GlobalScot’s and building relationships with the likes of BLOCK71 Global which is at the heart of Singapore's technology start-up ecosystem. #entrepreneurship #TechscalerSG

Are you charging your customers the right price? Pricing your product effectively can feel daunting, especially when you're new to market positioning. Start by understanding your customer deeply. - What problems do they face? - What solutions can you provide? This insight will help you determine the value of your offering. You can also research competitors, but don't get trapped in their pricing strategies. Instead, focus on what makes your product unique. Consider value-based pricing, where you align your price with the perceived value to the customer. Testing different price points can reveal what resonates best. You might be surprised by how small adjustments can lead to major changes in sales. Keep iterating and gathering feedback. This process will help you feel more confident in your pricing decisions. Believe in the value you bring, and your customers will too. #Sales #Pricing #Startups

Do you have lots of customer feedback but don't know what to do? Prioritising feature development based on customer feedback can feel overwhelming, especially when you receive conflicting opinions. Start by categorising feedback into themes. This helps you understand which issues relate most with your users. Engage directly with customers to clarify their needs; sometimes, a simple conversation can reveal insights that surveys miss. You can also assess the potential effect of each feature on your overall product strategy. Consider how each feature aligns with your long-term vision. This will help you make informed decisions that benefit both your users and your business. Keep an open mind and be willing to pivot based on what you learn. You might find that the features you thought were essential are not as critical as you believed. Prioritisation is an ongoing process, and staying adaptable will lead to real growth. #productmanager #productdevelopment #startup #mvp

Tracking the right metrics can transform your understanding of success and growth. You can start by focusing on Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to gauge your financial health. Churn rate will reveal how well you retain customers, while Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) helps you assess the efficiency of your marketing efforts. Lifetime Value (LTV) provides insight into the long-term profitability of your customer relationships. Consider also measuring engagement metrics, as they can indicate how well your product resonates with users. You might feel that qualitative feedback from customers can be just as precious as quantitative data. Keep an eye on these metrics, and you will understand your business's trajectory better. #Sales #Marketing #Business
