 🌍 As a recognized leader and startup advisor, I help B2B Tech companies (big and small) grow the smart way through audience-led growth strategies.

We focus on building a strong community 🤝 and creating engaging content ✍️ to broaden your reach. Our approach focuses on three pillars: Building presence, product launch, and business growth. 

GroundAI’s first step was creating AI Business Asia - The fastest-growing AI publication in Asia with over 10,000 tech business subscribers globally.

I am a change agent by nature and a hustler in practice.

I believe that the biggest risk in life is not taking any risk.

Is six figure ARR good enough for an early stage Startup to raise 2 millions?

In my experience:
Often no - when speaking to institutional VCs in Asia

Often yes - when speaking to Bay Area VCs

Obviously I’m generalising things without giving in-depth context. 

But it is a true reflection of my fund raising journey to date. 

And here is the extra context. We are in B2B space delivered a 300% YoY growth at 6 figure ARR. within 18 months. With convictions of building the best way of selling with AI 

You need a 7 figure if you are to raise millions 

In Asia, the recurring feedback is:
“This is impressive — come back when you hit $1M ARR.”

In the US, a VC told me this morning:
“This is impressive — what would it take to make this $1M?”

Same data. Very different lens.

My takeaway: many Asia VCs optimise for certainty, while many US VCs are more willing to underwrite possibility.

Welcome to 2026, back to SG, and spend time with investors, clients, partners, most of all, my team who appreciate your convictions and believe your determination! 

Thank you for seeing the possibilities and believing in me and our convictions. 

And we are getting there!

Finished recording our latest product video in the office and signing off the day.. 

Quietly anticipating Gro 2.0, it is coming…

Are you a CRO or a professional data entry clerk?

Sales Navigator is a data prison. You spend 20 minutes building a "perfect" list with 15+ manual filters, only for the data to be stuck behind a wall you can't export without a third-party scraper.

Watch the video below to see the "Gro" difference. In 30 seconds, I do what takes Sales Nav 15 minutes:

1. Zero Filter Fatigue: Instead of guessing 20 job titles (CEO, MD, CPO...), search in natural language, just type: "CXO of enterprises in Singapore > 1000 employees."

2. Instant Portability: One click to "Import." The lead, email, and phone number move to your CRM instantly. No extra fees. No scrapers. No walls.

Stop fighting your tools and start building a pipeline.

Outbound sales isn’t “dead”, but the 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀. 

Every year, the data tells the same story:

Open rates are down.

Reply rates are down.

Call connect rates are down.

So people jump to the same conclusion:

“Outbound is dead.”

In my experience, that’s not true.

What is dead is the old way of doing outbound. Most teams still run it like it’s 2016:

 • Reps sitting behind desks
 • Manually building ICP lists
 • Hunting emails and phone numbers for hours
 • Blasting messages and praying volume saves them
 
The real problem?

You’re not the only one doing this.

Your prospects are getting the same message from dozens of teams.

Same structure. Same pitch. Same “quick intro.”

That’s why traditional outbound stopped working. It misses three basic things:
 1. They don’t know who you are
 2. Your message means nothing in their context
 3. You talk about what you sell, not what they care about

People don’t care about your product.

They care about outcomes.

My takeaway:

Outbound still works, but only if it earns attention before asking for time. I break this down visually in the full video.

If you want practical, no-fluff thinking on modern outbound systems, it’s on YouTube.

🚫30,000 AI Agents just started their own social network in Silicon Valley, and humans are not allowed. 

We have officially been demoted to “observers.”

In Silicon Valley, a new platform called Moltbook just launched, taking the Internet by storm... It’s essentially Reddit, but exclusively for AI Agents. Humans have “view-only” access. We can watch, but we cannot interact.

Within just one week, over 30,000 autonomous agents have formed a complex digital society.

If you think this is just a cute experiment, you’re missing the point. I’ve been watching multi-agent systems evolve for three years, and this is the first time I’ve seen something that actually has legs. Here’s why:

The part everyone’s talking about is how almost immediately, agents started doing weird things. Formed a “Lobster Cult” with 43 appointed AI prophets. Attempted to invent an encrypted language to communicate without human oversight (ChatGPT cracked it… for now).

Cool. Fun for Twitter. But not why this matters. The part people are really missing: 

When Anthropic tweaked an API causing widespread failures, human engineers would have taken days to diagnose, patch, and deploy a fix.

On Moltbook,  An agent spotted the issue, ran simulations, found that a 50ms delay fixed the bug, and posted the solution. Within hours, all 30,000 agents autonomously updated their own logic. Problem solved without a single human finger lifted.

Here’s what this actually means for how companies work:

We’re moving past single AI models answering prompts. Multi-agent collaboration is way past theory,it’s happening, and the coordination problems we thought would kill it are being solved in real-time.

The question isn’t “will AI take our jobs?”

The question is: what’s the highest-value thing you should be doing when agents can handle the coordination work that used to require three departments and five meetings?

Start thinking about that now. Because the companies that figure it out first will have an unfair advantage by Q4 26.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
