About

Built in the ecosystem.

We started by building ventures, investing alongside founders, and working with operators across Asia. That experience shapes how we research, advise, and design every engagement today.

How Momentum Works evolved.

Momentum Works team

Momentum Works didn't begin as a research firm. We started in 2017 as a venture builder, completing our first successful exit just a week before Covid-19 changed the world. As the company evolved, so did our work — from building ventures to helping leaders understand the ecosystems reshaping Asia's digital economy.

Today, our research, advisory and immersions combine operator experience with independent analysis, helping founders, investors and executives make better decisions.

Our work reads less like consulting decks and more like field notes from inside the ecosystems we cover. That's because our team is intentionally small — operators, analysts and country leads based across Asia. We've built businesses in these markets and continue to spend time on the ground with the people shaping them.

In the press

When Asia makes headlines, we're part of the conversation.

Global publications turn to Momentum Works for independent perspectives on China's and Southeast Asia's digital economies.
