Context
70+ portfolio companies at various stages across Southeast Asia and South Asia, each with distinct technical challenges — from pre-product founders making their first architecture decisions to growth-stage teams scaling infrastructure.
What I Did
- Technical Office Hours: Designed and ran a structured advisory programme pairing founders with relevant technical expertise across the portfolio
- 1:1 Consultations: Provided direct technical advisory on architecture, stack selection, hiring first engineers, and build-vs-buy decisions
- Architecture Reviews: Assessed technical approaches and recommended course corrections before they became expensive
- Peer-to-Peer Learning: Facilitated knowledge sharing between portfolio founders facing similar technical challenges
Outcome
- 70+ founders served across the portfolio
- Peer-to-peer technical learning network established
- Helped founders avoid costly technical missteps at critical decision points
