Built in the ecosystem.
We started by building ventures and working alongside founders and operators across Asia. That experience still shapes how we understand business models, test assumptions, and judge what can travel across markets.
How Momentum Works evolved.
Momentum Works started in 2017 as a venture builder. We built and incubated businesses across Asia, completing our first successful exit just a week before Covid-19 changed the world. Over time, our work expanded from building ventures ourselves to studying how businesses are built, scaled and adapted across markets.
Today, our work spans research, intelligence, advisory and immersions. The common thread is business models: how they work, where the economics come from, what travels across markets, and what changes when they do.
That operating background still shapes how we work. We are a deliberately small team of operators, analysts and country leads based across Asia. We spend time on the ground with founders and operators, and bring that context into the companies, industries and business models we study.
Independent perspectives from Asia on companies, industries and business models shaping markets worldwide.
Our research and commentary are regularly featured in global media covering companies, industries and market shifts around the world.
