🚀 Beyond Runway

A private founder community for high-growth operators in Southeast Asia

If you’re building a serious company, you already know this:

Your bottleneck isn’t effort.
It’s decision quality.

Better decisions come from being in the right room.

Beyond Runway is that room.

A private founder community for high-growth operators in Southeast Asia.

Low-ego. High-trust. Extremely curated.

Why most founder communities suck

(and waste your time)

Let’s call it out:

• ⚠️ Promo spam & humble‑brags: Endless self‑promotion, zero substance.

• ⚠️ Wrong room problem: Full of non-founders or hobby businesses — no one “gets” your stage.

• ⚠️ No curation: Too big, too noisy, no standards. Zero depth → zero ROI.

• ⚠️ Generic advice (“work on your mindset”) instead of practical help for hiring, GTM, churn, fundraising, cash flow, and deals.

• ⚠️ Mismatched stages: You need answers to $100K problems, you get $100 advice.

• ⚠️ Events for the sake of events: Unclear value prop, unclear outcomes.

If you’re doing >$100K a year, you don’t have a “motivation” problem.

You have a room problem.

Beyond Runway fixes that by putting you in the right room — small circle of serious operators who’ll tell you the truth, share what actually works, and help you skip dumb (expensive) mistakes.

Why I Started Beyond Runway

I’ll be real with you.

I quit my job in 2021 to build my first startup. It flopped. Hard.

What kept me going wasn’t a book, a podcast, or a course. It was conversations with other founders who:

• Had burned millions — and knew how to bounce back

• Shared what they’d do differently if they had to start over

• Opened doors that would’ve taken me years to unlock alone

My second startup got acquired. That exit changed my life — but what changed my trajectory was having access to the right founders at the right time.

When I looked around Southeast Asia, I saw:

• Plenty of early-stage communities

• Plenty of generic “networking” events

• Almost no curated space for serious founders doing meaningful revenue who want depth

So I built Beyond Runway.

A private, vetted room for high-growth founders in Southeast Asia who want:

• Candid conversations about the hard stuff

• Real operator playbooks (not theory)

• A trusted circle they can lean on for the next decade

What Beyond Runway is (and how it helps you grow)

Beyond Runway is a private founder community for high-growth operators in Southeast Asia.

Inside, you will:

• Get unstuck fast: Ask one question, get 5–10 operator‑grade answers from founders 1–2 steps ahead.

• Borrow proven playbooks: Sales scripts, fundraising tips, GTM moves, ops checklists — what’s working now, shared candidly.

• Make the right intros happen: Warm, contextual introductions to founders, operators, and investors.

• Stay sharp: Monthly live masterclasses with top founders (recordings included) — practical, not TED‑talks.

• Belong: A safe room for open, vulnerable conversations about the hard stuff.

What you get inside Beyond Runway

Beyond Runway is built on 3 pillars:

1. Private Founder Community on WhatsApp

2. Monthly Live Masterclass with Top Founders

Real founders. Real outcomes.

Why founders are joining

High-growth founders join Beyond Runway for one reason:

Better Room = Better Decisions

Members get:

• Faster answers

• Real operator support

• Higher-quality connections

• Lessons without the tuition fees

• A room where vulnerability isn’t punished, but respected

• Connect with curated founders at similar stages ($100K – $20M annual revenue).

Because at this stage, Beyond Runway becomes your “Edge” — the unfair advantage that helps you move faster, avoid costly mistakes, and make better decisions.

Membership Requirements

Beyond Runway is not for everyone. By design.

We exist to serve founders who are already operating at a high level — and who make the room sharper by being in it.

To keep the room high-trust and high-calibre, we only admit founders who meet strict quantitative and qualitative criteria.

Minimum Criteria:

• $100K+ annual revenue (last 1 year)

Non-Negotiable Criteria (must meet all):

• You operate with integrity
  We vet hard for character. No questionable behaviour, no ego-driven drama.

• You are curious to learn
  You have a “beginner’s mind” despite your success.

• You share openly
  Beyond Runway is a low-ego room. Members talk about the real stuff — wins, losses, numbers, and mistakes.

• You give as much as you take
  Beyond Runway works because members show up to help, not to siphon value.

• You think and move like an operator
  Practical, grounded, and allergic to fluff.

Our Vetting Process

Beyond Runway stays valuable because we protect the room relentlessly. Every applicant goes through a full review — background, traction, conversation, and approval.

Here is exactly how to get in:

💰 WHY NOW MATTERS ⏳

(THE COST OF WAITING)

Every month you spend "figuring it out" is a month of burned runway. If you’re doing $500k/year and you could be doing $1M/year, waiting is costing you $41,000 a month.

That’s the Ignorance Tax.

I am capping this at 50 founders. I don’t want a stadium. I want a war room. Once we hit 50, the doors lock to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio.

The Beyond Runway Guarantee

Attend your first 3 monthly masterclasses and engage in the private Beyond Runway founder community on WhatsApp.

If, after that, you genuinely don’t feel Beyond Runway is worth it, email me and I’ll refund you. No forms. No hoops. No hard feelings.

Worst case: You spend 3 months with the best founders in SEA and get your money back.

Best case: Beyond Runway becomes the room you rely on when decisions matter most — helping you avoid expensive mistakes, shorten learning curves, and make better calls as the stakes rise.

2. Generosity of Ideas: Share wins, frameworks, templates, and war stories. Give more than you take.

3. Respect & Confidentiality: What’s shared here stays here. Treat every conversation as proprietary.

4. Growth Mindset: Embrace challenges. See failure as fuel for future success.

Who's already in the community?

A tight mix of founders (typically $100K–$20M annual revenue), across AI, B2B SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, agencies, and tech-enabled services — primarily Southeast Asia, with a few global operators.

You’ll see YC-backed, venture-funded, and bootstrapped founders who share candidly — what failed, what finally worked, and the exact steps they took.

How much does Beyond Runway cost?

Beyond Runway membership is $49 per month (billed monthly), or $441 per year (billed annually with 25% off — means you get 3 months free when you go annual).

Most members recover the fee quickly.

One avoided mistake, better decision, or warm intro can easily save (or generate) 5-50x the annual cost.

And yes — for almost every founder, Beyond Runway is a 100% business write-off (a legitimate business expense).

But more importantly, it’s a decision-making advantage.

Bottom line: If one playbook, intro, or pricing tweak saves you a single bad decision — or lands one new customer — the membership pays for itself.

How is Beyond Runway different from other founder communities?

• Stage-fit by design:
  Our community is deliberately balanced with founders who are 1–2 steps behind, at a similar stage, and 1–2 steps ahead of you — ensuring advice is relevant, grounded, and immediately useful.

• Built for Southeast Asia:
  Beyond Runway is deeply rooted in the SEA startup ecosystem, with members who understand regional realities — markets, talent, capital, regulation, and culture.

• Failure-first, operator-led depth:
  Conversations focus on what breaks — mistakes, trade-offs, and hard-earned lessons — shared by founders and operators actively running companies, not theorising from the sidelines.

• Actual leverage:
  Warm intros to founders/investors when it’s a fit.

Can I promote my business or sell to Beyond Runway members?

Short answer: No.

Members join to learn, share, and build real relationships — not to be sold to.

If a member genuinely asks for your help or wants to work with you, that’s perfectly fine. But unsolicited selling and promotions are strictly not allowed.

This keeps the room high-trust, high-signal, and actually useful.
