Coingecko is the world largest independent cryptocurrency data aggregator with over 150 million page views per month. Malaysian Founders, Bobby Ong and TM Lee, built the business as a side-hustle before venturing into it full-time.

The most impressive thing about this is that they built this without a single cent from venture capital - while maintaining a great culture as seen by their 4.6 Stars Glassdoor Rating and 100% CEO approval.

When we think of companies listed in the NYSE, we rarely see locals from Southeast Asia leading them. Moneylion’s Foong Chee Mun is one of the exceptions.

Foong Chee Mun, co-Founder of Moneylion, is the first Malaysian Founder to make it to the New York Stock Exchange in September 2021.

MoneyLion is the go-to destination for personalised financial management, content, offerings and advice. Their main users are in the USA. They are part of a consortium with AEON and AEON Financial Services that received a digital banking license from the Ministry of Finance in Malaysia.

There is a shortage of doctors in Indonesia with only 0.4 doctors for every 1000 residents. This problem is further worsened by the fact that Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world with more than 17,000 islands. Not everyone gets access to healthcare and Halodoc is determined to solve this problem!

Halodoc was founded in 2016 and their impact and growth has skyrocketed since. They now serve over 20 million patients in Indonesia every single month - that is almost 4x of Singapore's population! 

Halodoc’s Co-Founder and tech veteran, Doddy Lukito and I discuss how he got to where he is today; Halodoc’s contribution to Indonesia especially during the Covid-19 Pandemic and to uncover valuable lessons for tech workers and leaders.
