Quantum International Corp (QIC)’s Post

🚀 Innovating Our Region - One Byte at the Time 🚀 Our CEO, Richard Brulik, recently joined forces with JIC - business with a purpose in a dynamic meetup. The topic? Partner sales—an area where Richard’s two decades of experience shine. We couldn't be more excited to see this exchange of know-how that many other leaders of local companies came to take part in. By sharing his insights with fellow leaders, he embodies our core values. As we say: "When knowledge flows freely, everybody wins." And we don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk! 🤝 Openly, Honestly, Together: Our motto, isn't just ink on paper, or several pixels on a screen. It's embedded deep inside our Artinian DNA. We're not afraid to reveal our cards, because by doing so the entire #brnoregion blossoms. We are a part of the JIC innovative ecosystem, along with other members of our ARTIN Group. We collectively want our region to boom with innovation, that will resonate in other parts of the world. 🌍 Richard, of course, will take the stage at JIC again. Even if you missed his talk, you do not have to wait long for another. Keep an eye out for the JIC event in late April, where he will dive into a topic of product development. 💪 Together, we change the game! #InnovationNation #KnowHowExchange

Takeaways from the Ory Conference 2024. Last week I had the privilege of attending the grand and well organized ORY APAC-US Conference 2024 hosted by Ortoli Rosenstadt Ye Pte. Ltd. in Capella Singapore. Capella is one of the most luxurious hotels in Singapore and better known for hosting the Kim, Trump summit back in 2018. The conference aims to foster growth in the APAC region by encouraging social interaction and the exchange of ideas related to the U.S. capital markets. Having been in the capital markets for more than a decade, such conference on listing overseas is a clear sign on how the tides in the capital markets have shifted. When I was first involved in the capital markets, Singapore was the top destination for capital markets in terms of the number of listing as well as the proceeds raised in the region and listing in an overseas exchange is not as commonplace as it is now. In our recently released “Southeast Asia Mid-Year IPO Snapshot 2024” Singapore had 1 listing on the Catalist board for 1H2024 which is a drop from 3 in 1H2023. In the SEA region, Singapore had the lowest number of listing and proceeds raised for 1H 2024. To be fair, the whole SEA region have seen a drop in IPO activity and performance between 1H2023 and 1H2024. On the backdrop of such performance in the regional capital markets it is no surprise that this trend of companies considering listing overseas will continue. Making the decision to list your company be it in your local exchange or overseas exchange is a big decision and it will take a lot of deliberate planning and preparation. More so if the owner or investee company chooses to list in an overseas exchange because the company may not have much of a business presence in the overseas listing destination which may make sustaining investor interest a bit more challenging. After attending the conference, the word “Preparation” was the key buzzword I took away. What exactly needs to be prepared? From the sharing of many speakers the key thing I took away are as follows: 🏢 Act like a listed company even before listing ensure that your internal control, management reporting is ready to handle the rigours of post listing compliance even before listing 🗞 Start at least 6 months before your planned IPO kick off to tell your story to various parties and sharpen the story as you go along. Think about where your company is now and what you want your company to be in the future. If you do not tell your story no one will 🤝 Investor relations is an important ongoing item for issuers and it should always remain top of mind even post listing What are you doing to prepare yourself or your investee company to ensure the best outcome during an exit? Special shoutout goes to Daniel Leung, FCCA 梁俊然 for inviting me to this conference. Thanks for thinking and looking out for me and yes, we will catch up soon this couple of weeks. #iporeadiness, #IPO, #PE, #VC

US$28 billion committed in 5 years for gender-smart capital. Just the beginning. Looking for verifiable impact when investing in gender? 🤔 Investing into a social impact indicator? Without an existing social EU taxonomy? Where to look for a strong framework allowing for serious, verifiable measurement against a global standard? 🐱🏍 2X Global has shown this is possible (https://www.2xglobal.org/). We are currently upgrading the system and we are working on broadening the investor and investee outreach substantially. 🤓 Proud to support 2X Global and the 2X Challenge - try to find me in the picture in the 2X post below. This ecosystem building has the potential to mobilize much more capital into serious activities supporting gender equality and diversity worldwide.

Sharing my experience in building an indirect business model with other companies in the JIC - business with a purpose community was an amazing opportunity. I enjoyed sharing what I learned throughout my career path. In case you missed this session, these are my 3 key takeaways: You have to define Partner program strategy, conditions, and benefits to avoid false expectations and misunderstandings. Make sure the synergy between your product and Channel Partners is crystal clear – teach your partners how to sell your product and most importantly, highlight how selling your product will help your Partners to reach their KPIs. Keep direct contact with customers to gain product feedback, NPS and to understand your value proposition. Knowing your customers is equally important in direct and indirect business models. A big thanks to #JIC for setting up these meetings where we can share our experiences. I really believe that by exchanging our learnings and successes, we contribute significantly to the growth of our region and the value we deliver to our clients. Thank you all! I can't wait for the next session.
