5 craziest things you can't imagine founders would do to make their startup successful

Will you jump out of the plane flying at over 15K ft  just to catch a potential client?

Starting from the bottom and seeing yourself reaching the top of your goal might be the most overwhelming feeling in the world. There are only few people who succeed the first time they tried. Many have experienced failure in different forms and shapes before experiencing triumph. Indeed, success stories are great to hear but what made them successful are even better to listen to.

Here are some stories of Singapore-based startups or we might as well say ‘crazy things to do but are worth taking’ just to make their startup successful.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
